Refining Search With Value List

Featured Replies

I have a three tables: Equipment, Manufacturer and Model, with a relationship between them. What I would like to do is when someone adds an entry into Equipment, they are presented with two dropdown lists (manufacturer and model). When the user selects the manufacturer I would like the model list to update, so as only to show the related models to that manufacturer. Can that be done? If my table architecture is screwed up it can be changed.

Thanks
