Passing an argument from Form to OpenForm

[axilla2]

I have a form with a drop down that lists a few choices for my user. I want to pass the user's selection from that combo box to DoCmd.OpenForm (in acFormDS).
In other words, open a form in Datasheet view and filter it based on the criteria the user picked in the drop down menu.

I'm totally stuck, very much a beginner in VB, I cant figure out how to pass the args or refer to the drop down box for that matter.

please help with your advice,
many thanks-
