Cascading Combo Boxes Upload Images Link

Can you have cascading combo boxes on a continuous form? I have watched your video on cascade combo boxes and I can get the combo boxes to react properly but when I select the second combo box the values on all of that combo box change to the current selected value. Example first combo box is for the company, XYZ Company. The second combo box is the individual, John Doe. I select XYZ Company and on the next combo box, John Doe and John Doe populates for all the individual names for each record under the individual. Please help!!

Nope. Sorry. Once you requery the 2nd combo box, it will requery all of them. That's a limitation of Access. You can work around it with DLOOKUP and hiding fields. I have this on my list for a future TechHelp video. Someone else recently asked about it too. Hang in there.
