Dependent Combo Box question

3 New Member
Good morning. I have a contacts database that tracks the regular things like phone numbers, address etc. User searches for contacts through a combo box that lists entires by last name.

I've successfully added a dependent combo box that shows all of the first names for the entries of a given last name. For example, there might be 6 entries in the database with the last name "Brown" but only one entry "Sherwinas".

Is it possible for this dependent combo box to only be visible when it's needed, ie more than one entry for a selected last name? Many thanks for the help.

Sure, in the same event that you cascade your combo box, run an appropriately constructed DCount() and if that's larger than 1, hide the box, else unhide it.
