Question : How Do I Make the Choices in One Access Form ComboBox Contingent upon a Choice in Another?

I am using combo boxes to filter records in an Access Form. The First Combo Box is for the individual's name. That way they can view only those records (actions) that pertain to them.

The second box is a list of action item numbers, in order to zero in specifically on the one record they want to work with.

I would like the choices in the second combo box, action item numbers, to be limited to the action items assigned to the name of the person chosen in the first combo box.

Can somebody tell me how to do that?

This is called a Cascading Combobox

To have one Listbox or Combobox control what is in the row source of another Listbox or Combobox, see:

When one Listbox or Combobox is on the parent form and the other on the subform:

This one is for continuous forms:
