U can see the following link. It shows the relationship between a combobox and a listbox. U can implement the same with two comboboxes

On SelectedIndexChanged of first ComboBox write the code to populate the other Combo


    Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged


        Dim DR As OleDbDataReader
        Dim Cn As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(YourConStr)
        Cn.Open()
        Dim Cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand("Select YourCol From Yourtable Where AnotherCol='" & ComboBox1.Text & "'", Cn)
        DR = Cmd.ExecuteReader
        Do While DR.Read
            ComboBox2.Items.Add(DR(0))
         Loop

        DR.Close()
        Cn.Close()

End Sub


However this will require a roundtrip to the dataBase so you can as well store all data in a dataTable and locally populate the combobox
