Multiple Selection filtered by Combo Box

I have a situation where there is a range of key indicators that I need to have users select. They may be from different departments and the indicators differ per department, some overlap some don't. I plan a combo box to select their department and then I suspect a list box that gets populated by the combo box selection to enable them to select the indicators relevant to them (this can be a few at least.)

My current situation is I have a table with the following fields: Indicator ID (a numeric code), Indicator description(text describing) , Finance, Marketing, Sales. Each of the last three simply has an X indicating whether that indicator applies to that department. This all came from a colleague's spreadsheet I imported.

I want them to be able to select the department from a combo box,(populated from a separate dept listing) have it filter the contents of the listbox to the indicators relevant to that department. Then they go through and multiple select the indicators. I assume this means they get stored in the one field which is not a problem.

Any recommendations?
 

Take a look here faq702-4289 and instead of second combo place your listbox which should allow multiselect.
