Just wanted to add a few comments here:
I would agree that the more common request is to have a selection in one list
box influence the available choices in a second list box. At least from my
anecdotal experience.
Also, that when the question from uses is regarding using a list box to filter a
result set that the use of a simple macro usually results in a reasonable
outcome for the user - when it is to alter the items in a second list box it is
much more problematic.
Going along with the discussion here, I also agree that the hurdle that seems to
be the most troublesome is the inability to get at the actual FK value used by
the control - another way to say this might be - the inability to get at the
actual result set that produces the itemList.
Adding a new property to the ListBox control to expose this FK value would be
one way to approach this, sure. At this point at least the creation of the
required macro would be about equal in complexity to that of the listbox as
filter.
