If you're trying to have the values shown in one combo box dependent
on the value selected in some other control - which is at least
vaguely similar to your description - take a look at the code at

http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0028.htm

If you want a "multiselect" capability as your Subject line indicates,
you cannot use a combo box for the purpose; however you can use a
Listbox control.

Go to the www.mvps.org/access site and search for Multiselect; there
are several good code examples, depending on just what you want to do.
