Help - Need To Finish Project Today!

Hi guys,

I need to finish the Asset Management System I have been creating today.

The main Asset Form works fine for Data Entry. However when I view existing records, the Model of the Asset (I.T Equipment) appears blank.

The reason for this is:
I have three tables linked in the following way:
Manufacturer > Model Group > Model

When an Asset is recorded in the DB, the user must select a Model.
To minimise duplicating data I decided to only store the Model ID in the Asset Table. This way, if I need to view the Manufacturer and Model Group, I can just do a reverse lookup based on the Model ID.

Problem:
The Manufacturer and Model Group are unbound combos. The Model is a bound combo filtered by the Model Group filtered by Manufacturer (aka Cascading Combos).

However, as I am not storing the values for Manufacturer and Model Group in my Asset Table, when viewing existing records, all combo boxes are blank.

Has anyone got a solution to this problem. I downloaded an example by Pat Hartman that requeries the filtered combo on the forms current event. However in that example the main combo was stored in the underlying table.

Any suggestions. Would really like to knock this one on the head today.

Can post an example DB if it would help

Many thanks
