Question : Hide / Unhide Combo Boxes using Visible property Conditionally

Hello,
I need to generate a report using multiple selections from drop downs in a form.
The report can contain 3 status types (i.e pending, bidding, secured, etc.) or just one.
I have created a form with three Combo Boxes, each with the same row source. I will call them Status1, Status2, and Status3.
The row source is as follows. (table containing 1 Column - "Status")

"The first row is empty"
Bidding
Budget
Hold
Lost
No Bid
Pending
Prospect
Secured
Target Projects

Task:
1. When the user pulls up the form, I only want Status1 showing (visible) with an empty value.

2. If they select a value from the Status1 Drop down, then I want the Status2 ComboBox to become visible.

3. If Status1 and Status2 have selections made, the Status3 will become visible.

4. If Status1 and 2 are populated and they change 2 back to the empty value, I want the form to completely reset (to step 1).

5. If all three are populated and they remove the selection from Status 2, I want the the form to completely reset (to step 1).

The correct way for the user to get a report with three statuses would be to select from each box from left to right.

Answer : Hide / Unhide Combo Boxes using Visible property Conditionally

You're looking for cascading combos, of a sort. These are typically done in the Afterupdate event of your combos:

Sub Combo1_AfterUpdate()
  Me.Combo2.Visible = Nz(Me.Combo1, "") <> ""
End Sub

Sub Combo2_AfterUpdate()  
  If Nz(Me.Combo2, "") <> "" Then
    Me.Combo3.Visible = True
  Else
    Me.Combo3 = vbNullString
    Me.Combo1.SetFocus
    Me.Combo2.Visible = False
    Me.Combo3.Visible = False
End Sub
