    Drop Drop Menus

    I receive inspection sheets from mechanics and I need to start tracking trends.

    So, let's say the mechanic has marked an "interior" issue and of the 10 potential items that could related to "interior", he has chosen "dirty upholstery" -

    Column A is drop down menu with four categories listed:

    Interior
    Exterior
    Transmission
    Undercarriage

    So in Column A from the drop down menu I pick the main category of Interior. Then it's on to Column B to choose the exact issue of the Interior.

    When I choose "Interior" in Column A I would like Column B to automatically show me another drop down list with issues that relate only to Interior (i.e. glass, dirty upholstery, torn upholstery, etc.)

    that is question #1....

    If there are multiple issues on one vehicle, I would then go to Column C, pick another category (i.e. Transmission) and then in Column D, I would like it to automatically display the drop down menu that relates to Tranmission issues (engine oil, air intake, engine wiring, etc.).

    Is it possible to do this?

    Thanks,
    C
