This is not done with code in Access. You need at least one table:

Country: ID, Region, CountryName


The row source of your ComboBox, called cmbRegion:

SELECT DISTINCT Region FROM Country

The row source of your ListBox, called lstCountry:
SELECT Country FROM Country WHERE Region = Forms!YourForm!cmbRegion

Place a lstCountry.Requery in the change event of cmbRegion.

Actually, it can be done in Access, but only Access 2002 or newer. Make sure
the RowSourceType property of the combo box is set to "Value List"

Havine said that, though, I'd agree it's superior to base it on a table.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your explanation.. I could do the steps you have mentioned
below.. I have created two queries cmbRegion and lstcountry as given below,
but when i place lstcountry.requery in the change event of combo box, it is
showing an error as
Runtime error : Object required..
How do i place lstcountry.requery in change event of cmbRegion?.
Appreciate your help in this..

Thanks much

Maybe it wasn't that clear.

How do i place lstcountry.requery in change event of cmbRegion?.

lstCountry and cmdRegion are the controls on your form. The SQL
statements have to be pasted in their RowSource property.
