Default Filtering a combo box on a subform using a value from the main for

I am trying to create a complex form. Let me first outline what I want to do
since you may know an easier way to do it.

I have a form called IssuesForm. This form has a combo box called department
with 9 departments (from a query on table issues). This is a subform of
IssuesMainForm. This form has a replica of the combo box based on the same
query. This main form will have the combo box invisible and locked and set to
a specific department. There will be a copy for each department. In addition
certain departments will have a check box checked on the main form that
prevents them from editing certain fields on the subform.

The subform will only display the records for the department selected on the
main form. on the subform is another combobox that allows the user to go to a
record based on the number (i.e. go to issue #234). The SQL for that combo is
he

SELECT [Open Issues Query].ID, [Open Issues Query].Department
FROM [Open Issues Query]
WHERE ((([Open Issues Query].Department)=[Department]))
ORDER BY [Open Issues Query].ID;

The problem is I want that combo to only show ID#s for the selected
department. Can you help me do this?
Am I going down a wrong path here?

Thanks!
