You can set the properties of the 2nd listbox in its INIT method. The RowSource should be something like "select descript, keyid from choices_table where ParentID = ?nParentID order by ..."

When the user chooses something from the first list, set the value of the nParentID variable and call REQUERY method of the 2nd listbox.
