Thanks for all the advice so far, I am really thinking this is more of a design issue and I think (in this case at least) a minor tweak to the layout will achieve the result the client is looking for without too much stuffing around. This afternoon has been educational though, so I have learnt more.
many thanks
Darryl.

Hi Darryl,
I do this with bound comboboxes - code below:
----------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub cboCAPACode1_Enter()
On Error GoTo EH
If IsNull(cboCAPACode2) And IsNull(cboCAPACode3) Then
cboCAPACode1.RowSource = "SELECT CAPACode FROM tblCAPACodeLU"
End If
If Not IsNull(cboCAPACode2) And IsNull(cboCAPACode3) Then
cboCAPACode1.RowSource = "SELECT CAPACode FROM tblCAPACodeLU" _
& " WHERE CAPACode <> '" & Forms("frmCAPAMain")("cboCAPACode2")
& "'"
End If
If IsNull(cboCAPACode2) And Not IsNull(cboCAPACode3) Then
cboCAPACode1.RowSource = "SELECT CAPACode FROM tblCAPACodeLU" _
& " WHERE CAPACode <> '" & Forms("frmCAPAMain")("cboCAPACode3")
& "'"
End If
If Not IsNull(cboCAPACode2) And Not IsNull(cboCAPACode3) Then
cboCAPACode1.RowSource = "SELECT CAPACode FROM tblCAPACodeLU" _
& " WHERE CAPACode <> '" & Forms("frmCAPAMain")("cboCAPACode2")
& "' AND CAPACode <> '" & Forms("frmCAPAMain")("cboCAPACode3") & "'"
End If
Exit Sub
EH:
Application.Echo True
End Sub
-----------------------------------------------------------
There are 3 comboboxes - if either of the other two have already been used,
then this combobox's RowSource is changed - using the Enter event. All
three comboboxes have similar code in their Enter events.
This has worked out very well.
HTH!
Dan

Darryl - I don't think the answer is going to be simple.....but I think
others on the list have done this by having an unbound combo for your second
combo box. Initially it has a row source set which includes all 'valid'
options, but on change of your first combo, the row source of the your
second (variable unbound) combo changes to all remaining options minus the
one selected, as you say.
Once a selection from your unbound combo has been made (after update) you
bind that value in code to the field.
(The second combo has to be unbound because if you keep it bound your other
recs on the continuous form will be temporarily invalidated....)
There have been some posts on this topic a while back - if you can't find
them in the archive I can fwd a couple of relevant ones to you offline...
