When you select the value from your sub event combo, your query may likely be returning multiple rows of records. In order to get the "phrase" from each row of that recordset to appear in the text box, you'd need some code (or macro)  to concatenate all the results in to the field.

Or, a simpler method might be to replace the textbox with a list box and then set the rowsource for that list box to the filtered query and just refresh it when the sub-event combo is updated. Then, the user could select whichever phrase they want from the box and you could then have another textbox display just that phrase and any other greetings, etc. This technique would be the same as that of the Cascading Combo Boxes one you've already used, just with a listbox instead of a combo box.

I would start with this video:

Microsoft Access Relationships

I agree with Raymond. First, make sure your table relationships are set up correctly. Then review your query carefully, especially the join type being used. It is also important to check how your AND and OR criteria are written. Finally, decide whether you want the join to include all records from the event table, particularly when searching for items that contain both "wife" and "Christmas."

I have found that if I run a query based on the verses form:
SELECT verses_tbl.Verse_ID, verses_tbl.Event_ID, verses_tbl.Event_Sub_ID, verses_tbl.Verse
FROM verses_tbl
WHERE (((verses_tbl.Event_ID)=[Forms]![verses_frm]![EventC]) AND ((verses_tbl.Event_Sub_ID)=[Forms]![verses_frm]![SubEventC]));
This query gives me the result I want, but now I want to choose one on the verses in the list. I guess I could get the user to select the verse by typing the number of the Verse ID, but I want the user to print the verse. I am thinking of using a report and designing it to print the verse in a specific place on the report (Greetings cards can be various sizes) Is there any way that you can select from the list created for the query?
