Cascading combo boxes

Hello there,

I've used the standard microsoft instructions to use the Northwind database and created two syncrhonised combo boxes.

However, my problem is that I can't find any further information on how to link a third combo box.

The principle I'm working from is:

combo box one - staff contact: this filters the available orgs in combo 2.

combo box two - organisation: this filters contact details specific to the organisation selected.

combo box three - contact details.

I've worked out combo one and two. Any advice on the third? A step by step process would be great.

Hello Ruth

Thanks for your post and what you are trying to do. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, we needed to run this by a specific team member.

We are confident that a solution can be reached however it is beyond the scope of this forum.

In these instances we ask for you to send us your working files which we can review and notify you of the scope of work to reach a solution. My colleague Stephen estimates that we will need 1-2 hours work on VBA.

I shall email you so if you are interested at discussing further please contact me directly.

kind regards

Jacob

Access tip:

Related tables

When you have related tables such as Customers and their Orders, the Customer table is the Primary table.

Open the Customers table in datasheet view and go to the Home Tab and Records group. Click on the More option and choose Subdatasheet and then click on Subdatasheet again. Now choose the related table (Orders) and click ok.

Now you can click the + symbol by each company to show the related orders.
