SQL Select stmt in MS Access

Hello, New to SQL / Access interface so please bear with me...

I have a small (not normalized) table which has two important fields.

Table: tblTest
Field1: Company
Field2: Location

I am trying to allow a user to choose from previously entered data and avoid retyping. ie when a new Company is entered I want them to be able to choose from a combo box filled with previously entered Companies. I used

SELECT DISTINCT Company FROM tblTest

Worked great....Now i wish to populate the Location field combo box with ONLY valid locations associated with that company. Started with:

SELECT DISTINCT Location FROM tblTest WHERE [Company] =

and that is where I am stuck....
Question is, how do i reference the previously selected cell?

Thanks,
Joel

If you are using combo boxes you would want the selection from the first combo box to populate the second/dependent combo box. For example: I have a combo box called manufacturers and a combo box called models. When I select a manufacturer that will trigger an event passing the manufacturerID back to the database and issue the following query:
select distinc carModels
from models
where manufacturerID = [passed_value]
...
This will in turn populate the second combo box.
