Default Basing on combo box on another in a SUBFORM !

Hi everybody,
I followed Microsoft Office Online procedures to create a combox box based
on another.
In a form, it worked perfectly.
But in a SUBFORM, the second combo is only showing items related to the
items selected in the first combo.
The link here is the Microsoft Office database modified to show the problem.

Can anybody tell me how to show all the items in the second combo box ???
Many thanks,
Céline

I'm not sure that your problem is because it's a subform, or that your
subform uses a continuous form.

See whether the approach I describe in my February, 2006 "Access Answers"
column in Pinnacle Publication's "Smart Access" solves your problem.

You can download the column (and sample database) for free at

Hi everybody,
Hi Steve,
Thank you so much for your answer.
I opened your database AA200602 and pressed the Working button. You seem to
have the answer there !
I printed your PDF document and will try to adapt your solution to my
database.
You've made my week ;-)
Thanks again,
Céline

drinks...) g
