Filter query from access form using variable
I would like to limit the output of a query based on the value of a variable on an acces form.
I am sure the answer is simple but the syntax i don't know.
The original query is named qry_PDM_Measures and includes...
- Project Category
- Measure
The combo boxes i want to control are on a form named frm_PDM_Results.....
cboProjectCategory
cboMeasure
When a value is selected from cboProjectCategory i want to limit the list in cboMeasure to those measures where Me.ProjectCategory on the form is equal to Project Category in the query.
Any help most welcome.
Thank you.

Hello Fyed,
The result earns the points thats for sure but can you just add one tiny extra bit to the criteria
....And WHERE [Measure] <> Forms!frm_PDM_Results.cboP
or something similar

Solved, just a couple of bracket problems
WHERE (([Project Category] = Forms!frm_PDM_Results.cboP
Will post the points now
