How to select one of three lists for a combo box?

[Ingeniero1]

I am creating a form to specifiy several properties for three product
models.
They all share some basic properties, but the choices for each property
are different based on the model.
For example, for the color property.
Model A: red, green, yellow
Model B: blue, orange, purple
Model C: clear, black, white

Is it possible to select one of the three models listed (A, B, C) using
a Combo Box (Control Form) and based on the model, select the list of
colors that the Color Combo Box will use?

In other words, using the Model Combo Box, the user will first select
one of the three listed models, and based on this selection, the Color
Combo Box will 'look' at the proper list from three possible lists to
offer the choices.

I don't know if I explained what I want to do clealry - please, let me
know.

(FWIF, in the real application there are over 30 characteristics.)

Thanks

Toppers -

Thank you for your prompt reply. The solution you referenced gave me a
idea that works well in this case.

The Form is sheet 1.
All the specifications were on the data sheet (sheet 2) - thre
columns.

What I did was to add another column next to each of the thre
specification columns, and simply entered the model number into eac
cell of the appropriate column. Now each specification has its mode
number on the adjacent column, as follows:
Col A = 1st model number, Col B = Specs for A
Col C = 2nd model number, Col D = Specs for C
Col E = 3rd model number, Col F = Specs for E

I then created another column, G, where each cell contains a 3-dee
"If" statement. Depending on the model selected (Form, sheet 1), th
"If" statement causes the appropriate spec to appear on column G, whic
now is the list that is referenced in the form model number combo box.

Works well.

Thanks
