    Tables and Drop Down Boxes

    This is the scenario. I have a table “Main” with 2 fields: Location and Salesperson (actually it has several fields but I want to concentrate on these two fields. Also, I have a table called “Location” with three Records or stores (FW, WC, and W). These two tables have a 'one to many' relationship. On the other hand I have three other tables (FW-Salespersons, WC-Salespersons, and W-Salespersons). Each table has a list of salespersons of their corresponding store.
    The idea is the following: if the Location field from “Main” table is chosen one of the stores, for instance, FW. I want the Salesperson field Drop Down Box from “Main” table to be change automatically to FW-Salespersons list, and the same thing for WC, and W stores. How would it be the best way to connect these tables in order to accomplish this task? If you have a suggestion how to do it, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi plaguna. The use of tailored combo lists cascaded from one combo to another is covered in our HowTo article on Cascading Combo/List Boxes which should give you a start on how to do this.
