Here is my situation. I have a main form for data entry (binning of
different categories of the subject reports for the purposes of
trending). It has numerous subforms. All of the underlying tables are
linked through a field called "designator". I have numerous subforms
because it is the only way I have been able to figure out how to make
multiple entries for each of the topics covered by the different forms.
For example, I may want to identify multiple "corrective actions" for
a given designator - so I have a subform feeding a seperate table.
Here is where I get tripped up. I have a combobox (called tybecbx) in
a subform called "type". I have another subform called, "subtype".
This subform also has a combobox. It is called subtypecbx. I want the
subtypecbx combobox (located on a specific subform) to be populated
based on my selection in the typecbx combobox on a totally different
SUBform. Obviously, these comboboxes must be bound. I intend to have
them bound to a table called "TypeSubType".
I have two lookup tables. The first is used to populate the options
for the typecbx combobox. The second, which has all possible
type/subtype combinations defined is meant to populate the second
dropdown.
Any wisdom would be much appreciated.
TIA
