access 2007 combo boxes

[jerken]

Im working in Access 2007 using two Combo boxes to select a category then product type. I am trying to get a couple fields to be displayed based on what the values are in the combo boxes. I have the boxes properly synchronized and working fine. Is there like a submit button I can input or a an after update I can create? I have been searching online and I cannot find anything. here is the code i have for the boxes. there are a couple different forms I would like to do this with, but I just cannot get it to work

Me.cboProducts.RowSource = "SELECT ProductName FROM" & _
                        " Products WHERE CategoryID = " & Me.cbocategories & _
                        " ORDER BY ProductName"
                        
Me.cboProducts = Me.cboProducts.ItemData(0)

Not totally clear on what you're trying to do, but this is what I think you're trying to do. The attached file has an operational form. You'll have to look at the properties and the code, but it's very minimal.

well its not exactly what Im looking to do. I basically I have two combo boxes (state and county) and I want when you select a state, the conty box only shows the ones for that state(that part I have working). then when you choose the county, it would only show the attachments for that county(field1).

[dsatino]

Where are you displaying these 'attachments' and where are they stored?

[jerken]

they are on the table with the county. I Change the field to attchment and then put the file(s) onto that table. Then used the lookup field to associate the county with the state

Ok, still not totally sure...this is my best guess without a visual

Jerken,
I'm probably the last person you'd want helping you on a DB right now (LOL) but I've received so much help here I feel it's my obligation to try to help somebody else. There is a sample DB provided in this string that may be on the same lines of what you are trying to do.
Just look in post #3 and don't drown in the rest of the post. :-)

that is actually what I am trying to do. Now I just need to get it to do the same for mutiple text boxes. Thank you this is a huge help!

Perfect. Pay attention to the properties boxes and make sure properties are set similarly. If I could do this, anyone can!! Good luck!
