I have a the folloowing scenario.

ControlA - AsOfDate this is a drop down list and is populated from table A

ControlB - Department, departments change change from day to day so they can be in the table for multiple days. when they change the may not get a new key.

ControlC - lets call this employee. employees can be moved, quit, etc.

Controls B and C are populated from tableB shich has a date, and the department key, employee key.

I need to change ControlA to ControlB with AsOfDate. Got this.

I need to change ControlB to ControlC with AsOfDate and DepartmentID. as department ID is not unique in itself. And if I query with just Department ID i get employees at are not in the department any more.

So, Yes tableB keeps a history, and I need to pass both AsOfDate and DepartmentID to the 2nd chained control (ControlC).

Thanks

Change?? Or Chain?

I appreciate that English is pretty loosey-goosey compared to any programming language I know, but even it requires a little more syntax than that! Smiler

Sorry, chain.

Anyways, I ended up saving the date in the department list procedure to foccache and in the employee list procedure reading it back into a varable to use.
