All,

I am trying to filter the records from a table displayed in a combo
box using a combo box on the same form. I built a query and set the
criteria as Me![FormName]![Combo_box]. This allowed me to filter the
list, but it did not do exactly what I wanted. When the first combo
box is blank, the second one is also blank. Is there anyway I can get
the second combo box to display all of the records when the first box
is blank?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

John

Try a criteria in the second combo of:

Like Forms!YourFormName!Combo1Name & "*"
