Hi,

   u can use the value of combo box by combo1.value and using 'if' condition u can check which data is to be shown in the grids.

  Please tell me in detail about the source of data i.e. data is from database-recordset or from array.

  u can use
dim mrow,mcol,i,j
for i=1 to msflexgrid1.row
  for j=1 to msflexgird1.cols
    msflexgrid1.textmatrix(row,col)="string data for grid"
  next
next

Step 1:
2 MSFlexGrid controls (MSFlexGrid1, MSFlexGrid2)
2 Comboboxes (Combo1, Combo2)
Step 2:
Copy the following code (it is easily customisable and includes some values to let you see what it does):

                    'go into

'you don't need to reset the column

You can try this code.

Public Sub MSFlexGridPrint(gridQuery As Control)
' *** Print MSFlexGrid

Dim I          As Integer
Dim J          As Integer
Dim PTab       As Integer

For I = 1 To gridQuery.Rows - 1
 PTab = 20 'Set the first tab value
 'This checks to see if a page break is needed

 If Printer.CurrentY + Printer.TextHeight(gridQuery.Text) > Printer.ScaleHeight - 600 Then
    Printer.NewPage
 End If

 gridQuery.Row = I 'Set the active row

 For J = 0 To gridQuery.Cols - 1
    gridQuery.Col = J 'Set the current column
     
    'Send the field to the print line and add the tab.
    'Notice the semicolon at the end of the line.

    Printer.Print Trim$(gridQuery.Text); Tab(PTab);

    PTab = PTab + 20 'Increment the tab value
 Next

 'After each column has printed to the print line

 'a Printer.Print statement without a semicolon will
 'will send the line to the printer and start a new
 'one.
 Printer.Print
Next

End Sub
