Hi There,

I'm creating a form, I want to be a able to select a catergory in one txtbox and based on a catergory another txt box has different options.

for example:

catergory selected hardware

sub catergory, in the form of a drop down: PC Base Unit, monitor, keybaord, mouse, printer.

i'm struggling to do this - any ehlpw ould be much apprecited.

Thanks
