Karen,
Why not use two mutually-exclusive list boxes - when you click an item it moves to the other box? I know there's a sample of what you want to do in RRBYW14 or such. You would simply add a button to move all one way or move all the other. To do 90 of 100, then, they would move all to the other side then remove the 10 they don't want. Look in RRBYW14 at "Mutually Exclusive Choose" . There you click one line and it moves to the other side (a different table). Add a button with a right arrow that moves all the records to the right, and one with a left arrow that moves them all to the left.

Larry: That is what I have right now. Process selected and Process All. The thing is that there could be 100 items in the list and maybe they want to process 90 of them. Right now they would have to click 90 times! That's why Alastair's idea of letting them click on items, and then click a button to either process the selected or process everything except the selected might be the way to go. Karen Karen: Use two buttons "Process Selected" and "Process All". That way you don't have to worry about selecting stuff in the list box (or even knowing what's in the list box) for the process all situation. There are two different multiple-selection properties on Windows controls. One is multi-select, which allows CTRL clicking for disjoint selections. The other is extended select (not sure if R:Base surfaces this one) that allows SHIFT clicking for contiguous selections as well as CTRL-SHIFT clicking for multiple contiguous selections that are disjoint from each other. -- Larry
