Forms based on query - Need help!

Hi,

I would like to know how I can set up a form (with 2 subforms) that are
based on queries, but the specific query depends on the user selection
from a combo box. My database has this structure:

Let's say i am collecting data from several different departments and i
need to separate the info for each dept into two sections on a form.
So, i have two queries/dept that extracts certain info....

Queries:
"Business Unit A - Info Part 1"
"Business Unit A - Info Part 2"
"Business Unit B - Info Part 1"
"Business Unit B - Info Part 2"
"Business Unit C - Info Part 1"
"Business Unit C - Info Part 2"

Right now, i have created a form for EACH business unit. i.e. I have a
form called "Business Unit A Info", which is based on the first 2
queries, and an action macro will open up this particular form if the
user selects Business Unit A in the dropdown list. similarily for B and
C. The problem is, this isn't efficient as the number of departments
can grow. How can i create ONE form that can be opened to display any
group of queries depending on the user selection?

Thanks in advance!
Herman

Herman,

Since we can't see your database, would you post the SQL of "Business Unit A -
Info Part 1" and "Business Unit B - Info Part 1"? And the same for the "...Part2"?
