Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm trying to design an Access table in which a field named &quot;Choice&quot; would present, in datasheet view, a dropdown list whose possible values would depend on another field named &quot;Category&quot;.<br />
<br />
For example, say a record would have &quot;&nbsp;Category='Color' &quot;, then field &quot;Choice&quot; might present a dropdown list with 3 possible choices : &quot;Red&quot;, &quot;Green&quot;, and &quot;Yellow&quot;. However, if it would be &quot;&nbsp;Category='Fruit' &quot;&nbsp;the dropdown list would show 2 possible choices : &quot;Apple&quot; and &quot;Orange&quot;.<br />
<br />
In other words, the value of the &quot;Category&quot; field would determine the available options in the &quot;Choice&quot; dropdown.<br />
<br />
How can I do that?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />

Hi,

I'm trying to design an Access table in which a field named "Choice" would present, in datasheet view, a dropdown list whose possible values would depend on another field named "Category".

For example, say a record would have " Category='Color' ", then field "Choice" might present a dropdown list with 3 possible choices : "Red", "Green", and "Yellow". However, if it would be " Category='Fruit' " the dropdown list would show 2 possible choices : "Apple" and "Orange".

In other words, the value of the "Category" field would determine the available options in the "Choice" dropdown.

How can I do that?

Thanks,

Table/Query or Value List field lookup whose content depend on another field's content. How-to?
