Ajax
Im not sure if this is what u r looking 4 - if not sorry.

1. Load your first combo box A normally with @dbcolumn.
2. Then onChange() of A write the ajax script and populate combo B.
3. Then onChange() of B write the ajax script and populate combo C.
4. Then onChange() of C write the ajax script and populate combo D.

5. When not a new doc and in edit mode you need to make sure to write up a script onLoad() of the form to again get the values for B, C, D and repopulate them and also make sure to select the value previously selected.
