conditional list box
I am building a table with several list boxes. When entering a record, I
want the user's selection in one list box to effect the choices in another list box. How do a create a list box that displays particular values based on another list box

conditional list box
Listboxes are in a form not in a table.
You will have to refresh the listbox row source in response to any update in the other listbox. e.g. Me!Listbox.RowSource = "....." Me!Listbox.Requery You will have to cater for the case where a selection in one listbox is nullified because that value is no longer valid. -- Dorian "Give someone a fish and they eat for a day; teach someone to fish and they eat for a lifetime".

Thanks but Access 2007 does have list boxes in the tables (at least that is
what they are referred to in the application) "Dorian" wrote: Listboxes are in a form not in a table.

conditional list box
I suspect you are referring to the much-maligned "lookup" data type, that
provides comboboxes (not listboxes) in tables. No, there is no way to have, at the table level, one lookup field limit another. That's what "cascading comboboxes" in forms are for.

conditional list box
Posting the same issue repeated, and in different newsgroups, is frowned on.
Not only do you have to look in multiple places to see if you've received an answer, doing so causes multiple folks to treat your question as if it hadn't been answered and spend time working on it. Since we're all volunteers here, it ends up costing both you and us more time... Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Office/Access MVP "RNicole" wrote in message ...

You said that it can't be done at the table level. Can it be done with forms. If not, then how do you make the cascading combobox display a certain list of options based off of selection the user makes in a previous field?
