I don't know how to link two drop down boxe. If I choose one from a general
category I want the second box to list only the things pertaining to what I
choose in the first box.

Click to expand...

Leave the rowsource of the 2nd combo box blank.
Code the AfterUpdate event of the 1st combo box to fill the rowsource
of the 2nd. Something like this:

Combo2.Rowsource = "Select Instructors.InstructorID,
Instructors.InstructorName from Instructors Where Instructors.ClassID
= " & Me!ComboName & ";"

Change the table and field names as needed.
The above assumes ClassID is a Number datatype and the Combo1 bound
column is Number also.

The above will list only instructors who teach the same class.
