Thanks for any help on this. here is what i am trying to do

In my form I want to be able to filter down what records users are working
with in the list.



I have a few drop down tables that the filter would be applied from: Project
Status, Project Type, Product Type



So for instance. I have 100 Records



I choose a field in Project status to a particular status "Project in
Progress" now I have 50 records in the form that match that criteria



I then choose a field in Project Type to a particular type "Lighting" now I
have 25 records in the form that match this and the preceding criteria.



I lastly choose a field Product Type and pear down the list to 5 records
based on the three fields



I want the filter to work based on any combination of the three fields
 
You can dynamically change the filtering (in VB event procedure) via the
DOCMD.APPLYFILTER command after each change. Look it up in Access Help.

The only part i dont under stand in the coding is how to make it filter
based on what is in the box
