There shouldn't be anything different here.

On the parent form, create the combo, and set its rowsource to something
like:

SELECT OwnerID, Owner FROM tblOwners ORDER BY Owner ASC;

Then as a quick test, to see if this is what you want, forget the subform
for just a few minutes.
Add a listbox to your parent form. Set the listbox rowsource to something
like:

SELECT * FROM tblHotels WHERE OwnerID =
Forms![yourParentForm]![cboYourComboBoxNameHere]

In the after update event of the combobox, place the  following code:

Me.listbox1.Requery

Does this work? If so, then create you subform, set its recordsource to that
of the Hotel Table (or Query) then clicking on the subform which is placed
on the Parent Form, you should be able to select OwnerID as your
Parent/Child Linking fields

Hi folks
What's the simplest way to do the following...
I have a table of hotels 1:M with a table of owners. (HotelID is my
primary/foreign key)
I want to select an owner from the owner table and for as many times as that
owner appears in the child table, list (in a subform), the related hotels in
the parent table.
I'm OK with the mechanics its just that it's back to front from normal and
it's the wrong end of the week (recursion?).

Martin
