You need to add two controls, a Treeview and a ListBox.

As coding the required functionality (especially the Treeview) is
non-trivial, I suggest you have a play with it for a while, and then ask
specific questions if and when you feel the need.

A few Treeview resources:

There's also the Treeview Control Wizard for Access 97.
