Is it possible to synchronize 4 combo boxes? If so, would I have to create
four tables and link them? Please help, I am in a big rut...Thanks!
 
Is your question how to get a series of combo boxes to display records
dependent on a prior selection? If so, this can be done in a from with combo
boxes. It can't and shouldn't be done in a report design.
 
You've asked a "how" question.

My question is "what?" Why do you want to do this? What will having "4
synchronized comboboxes" allow you/your users to do?

I ask, not out of idle curiosity, but because there might be other "how's"
for the "what" you need to accomplish.

Please replace "shouldn't be done in a report design" with "shouldn't be done
in a table design" in my reply.
 
Ok... so I am really confused because I am trying to modify a database, so as
you know it's harder for me since I didn't develop the database and I have
work around with what i have. okay.. so this is the situation I want to
synchronize 4 combo boxes, but before I can do that, do I have to create four
tables to link them and make somehow connect?? sorry for my lack of access
terminology... I've already established 2 combo boxes already.. which
worked.. now i want to do the same thing to combo 3 and 4... so in essence, i
already have combo 2 which is filtered by 1, and now i want combo 3 to be
filtered by 2, and combo 4 be filtered by 3. I hope that makes sense...
please help.
 
I would take the method you used for the first combo boxes and apply it to
your other combo boxes.
 
So are you saying i have to create two tables and link them so i could use
them to the combo boxes?? if that's the case how?? because combo 3 will be
filtered by combo 2.. and so on, so doesn't that mean i have to somehow
connect or link all the tables together????
