>I have a combobox (#1) where I choose a value from its drop-down list. Then, that value is used in a SELECT SQL statement to build the combobox (#2s)drop-down list. I can successfully choose a value in both comboboxes and save the value. That all works.

It only seems to show the correct number of items the first time I do the SELECT SQL in combobox #1 to populate combobox #2.

Hi Steve,

If the second ComboBox control has its RecordSource bound to a parameterized view, with the parameter as the desired value from the first ComboBox control, then all you would need to do when a user selected a value from ComboBox #1 is to set the parameter to the desired value, REQUERY() the parameterized view, and Refresh() the second ComboBox.
