subform control question

[Guest]

I have a combo box on a subform that I would like to have updated with info
depending on what appears in the text box next to it. And I am having
difficulty in getting anything to work. The textbox is filled from a combo
box on the main form. Any suggestions in getting this to work is
appreciated. Thanks in advance to anyone responding.

I'm not understanding the nature of the data here. It certainly sounds
like you're trying to store data redundantly, but I can't even
determine that!

What are the Recordsources of the main and subform? What are the
master/child link fields? What's the RowSource of the combo box? What
do you mean by "updated with info depending on what appears in the
textbox"? How is the textbox "filled"?

More info please!

What values are possible in the text box.
What values do you want in the combo box?
Where does the data for the combo box come from?
