Default Combo Box

I have a combo box on a form that the criteria is look up records that are
listed in the form. The form has multiple builderid's (different builders)
and each builder has multiple neighborhoods.

What I am trying to figure out is when I'm on a specific builder, how can I
get the combo box to just filter on that specific builders neighborhoods?

If I understand your question, you need to check on "Cascading
Comboboxes" -- do an on-line search.

Default Combo Box

The standard way to creat a form filter with a combo box is to 1. I would
allow the combo box wizaed to set up what I wanted to show in the combo. 2.
Right click the combo, go to events, click on the afterupdate event, and push
the little button out to the right. Start the code builder and type:
Me.filter = "[id] = """ & me.combo# & """"
Me.filteron = true
The cobo# will be listed, like combo12 or combo23
