I'm stuck and need some help. I think I've been thinking and working on this problem too long. I can't see what I'm missing. <sigh> I have 3 tables: tblIncident ----------- IncidentID (AutoNum PK) IncidentReasonID_FK (Long) .... tblReason ---------- ReasonID (AutoNum PK) ReasonDescription (Text) ReasonTypeID_FK (Long) ReasonDiscontinued (Boolean) tblReasonType --------------- ReasonTypeID (AutoNum PK) ReasonTypeDescription (Text) ReasonTypeDiscontinued (Boolean) tblIncident is a 1-M with tblReason on ReasonID_FK=ReasonID tblReason is a M-1 with tblReasonType one ReasonTypeID_FK=ReasonTypeID What I am trying to do is create cascading combos on an edit only form. No additions or deletions. Just editing The form is based on a query that pulls the data from tblIncident cboReasonType is the ReasonType and is not bound bboReason is Limited to only those Reasons that have a ReasonTypeID_FK = cboReasonType and is bound to IncidentReasonID_FK So Far So good. Now I have cboReasonType's rowsource to be a query that includes all of the ReasonTypes (SELECT ReasonTypeID, ReasonTypeDescription, ReasonTypeDiscontinued FROM tblReasonType;) cboReason's rowsource is a query with the SQL "SELECT ReasonID, ReasonType_FK, ReasonDescription, ReasonDiscontinued FROM tblReason;" In the Current Event of the forms I have: 'Set the Reason Type cboReasonType = cboReason.Column(1) So as I navigate to the various records, I get the value of the RecordType Combo correct. Now, as soon as I try to change the rowsource of cboReason to filter based on cboReasonType ("SELECT ReasonID, ReasonType_FK, ReasonDescription, ReasonDiscontinued FROM tblReason WHERE (tblReason.ReasonType_FK=[Forms]![sfmEditIncidentDetails]![cboReasonType]);") I end up with blanks in both cboReason and cboReasonType. What am I missing? Is it that cboReason's RowSource is dependant on cboReasonType's value, which is in turn based on cboReason's value? If that is the problem, and now that I have typed this all out, I think it is, how the heck do I make it do what I want?? Thanks, Bryan Carbonnell bryan_carbonnell at cbc.ca
