Yes, at least in the sense that if I have understood your quandry you
essentially want a read-only form that will allow you to query the data
via drop-down lists and automatically filter the remaining data accordingly.

That kind of automatic functionality would generally require macro
programming.

However, you might want to take a look at the FormFilter mode and see
whether you can tweak that to get what you want.
