Default multilayered lookups

Hi all--
I am NEW to databases and trying to teach myself Access 2007 (in my spare
time-- whatever that is. Anyways I work for a creamery (go Westby) and
need to make a database for our products. Here is what I would like to do.
Have a pull down that has different categories ie sour cream, cream cheese,
hard cheese, etc. After selecting one of those categories I would like to
have another lookup come up that is specific to the first choice. For
example if I click on "hard cheese" I get an automatic lookup that lists
cheddar, parm, mont. jack, pepper jack, etc. How is the best way of doing
this? Please email me the results as I am not sure how to find this site
again. (Let me know how to find this newsgroup also if it is not to much of
a pain.) Have a great day and thank you in advance.

Go to www.fontstuff.com or www.allenbrowne.com and look up "cascading combo
boxes." That is exactly what you need.
