I'm trying to base combobox arrays of previously selected combobox .text.
So I have combo box 1 with an array of Building 1, Building 2, Building 3, Building 4 with a button next to it.
When the button is selected it then runs an if statement IF Combobox 1 equals Building 1 create a new combobox with an array of Rooms that are in building 1 it then creates the combo box.
This works good!
The problem is when I to back to combobox 1 and select Building 2 and click the button I still have the same options of rooms from building 1 in combobox 2.
I've tried deleted in control, refreshing the form and adding a new control then refreshing the form when the button is clicked but I can't seem to get that initial array out of combobox 2 and replaced with an array of the new drop downs based on the first combobox.
Any suggestions? Script Below
