Posts: 2                So here's an image of what I'm working with.


What I'm trying to do is populate ComboBox1(top one) with some choices, then 
depending on the choice, CBox2 is populated with some options, and so on. Then 
I'd like to make the bottom text field give me a printout of the options in a 
sorta ID format. This will eventually become populated with 8ish combo boxes 
and some image wells to accompany them and so on.

Example of what I'm trying to do:
CBox1, is populated with different car manufacturing companies, you select Ford,
CBox2, now has the model of the vehicle for you to select, you select the F150,
CBox3, now has the size of the engine you want in that truck, you select a 
small block 350(I know nothing about cars so I'm making this up as I go),
Now the text field at the bottom has in it "FRDF150SMLBLCK350" in it.

I took a intermediate course on REALBasic in 2007 and sorta lost interest in 
coding, but I am now in need of relearning this. I know basic programming, I 
just wanna get this working and then I'll go on to dissecting it and learning 
from there. Thanks for taking the time to read this guys.

Location: Jönköping, Sweden                You could use a Select Case.
In CBox1.Change you could use something like:
Select Case me.text
Case "Ford"
  CBox2.DeleteAllRows
  CBox2.AddRow "F150"
  CBox2.AddRow "F250"
Case "Citroen"
  CBox2.DeleteAllRows
  CBox2.AddRow "F350"
End Select


That would add different rows to CBox2 depending on what you select in CBox1.
Does that help you somehow?
