cmd = New OleDbCommand("select * from table1 where MFG='& combobox1.text &' ", con) I guess this should be- cmd = New OleDbCommand("select * from table1 where MFG='" & Me.ComboBox1.SelectedItem & "'" ,con) The code you have at present checks if the value & combobox1.text & is present in the field MFG and hence you are getting no records in your Data Grid View.

Its just that you have not used the concatenation correctly.

Hope it helps!

Hi Tuse:
Thanks for your reply. I had observed that mistake and i rectified it. Now, when i pull down any value from combobox1 and hit the click button it works perfectly fine with the queries being displayed on my datagridview.

How do i do this for my combobox2 ? I have a set of values in combobox2 and I am sending my code along with this email. Please take a look at it and reply.

What I want to do is, even if i dont choose any value from combobox1 and just choose a value from combobox2, i still want the queries to be displayed.

It 'll be very helpful if you can correct me.

Thanks,
Kavitha.

You should use the OR statement in your SQL query.

So your SQL command text should be- cmd = New OleDbCommand("select * from table1 where MFG='" & Me.ComboBox1.SelectedItem & "' OR MFG='" & Me.ComboBox2.SelectedItem & "'" ,con) I am guessing that the values from the 2nd ComboBox are also queried against the MFG field that you have in the database. If this is not so, change it accordingly as per the required field.

You can also add multiple clauses with the OR.

However if what you wish is something like this-

ComboBox1 - Value A
ComboBox2 - Value B
ComboBox3 - Value C
ComboBox4 - Value D

i.e. if you select value A in 1st box, value B in 2nd , value C for 3rd....
and it should show records where field1 in database matches Value A, field2 matches Value B .....etc, then use the AND statement
