Cascading List Box dependent on multiple choices
Jono 21.07.2006 05:00:01
Is it possible to have a list box who's list is dependent on selections made
in 3 other list boxes? I've used the instructions for creating a Cascading
List Box but this uses only one list box selection.

Hi Jono,

Can you give a little more information on what you are trying to acheve
and what the selection criteria is based on for the filtered list?

Cheers,

Si.

Yes, you would just follow the same techniques, but add additional filtering to handle the other two values.

Hi Si,

OK. This form is for the configuration of a machine. There are 5 types of
machines, let's call them machines A through E. Each machine has a storage
unit that holds tools. There are 3 types of storage units, let's call them X,
Y, and Z. And there are 12 types of tools, let's call them 1 through 12.
Depending on the machine the storage unit and the type of tools used the
number of tools held will be different. In some cases there is a choice of
how many tools the storage unit will hold for a given machine type/tool type.

An example:
Machine A can hold 3 tools of tool type 1 in storage unit X, but can hold
either 5 or 10 tools of tool type 1 in storage unit Z.

Machine B can hold 7 tools of tool type 1 in storage unit X, but can hold
20 tools of tool type 4 in storage unit X.

etc., etc.,

So I need a drop down listbox that will display how many tools can be held
based on the machine type, magazine type and tool type.

I hope that clears it up a bit. If not, let me know.

Thanks again,
Jono
