On a variable User Defined Listbox, MultiSelect will work when the Listbox is
populated via a Cursor or Load_From_File.  A couple of days ago I posted an
example for a form that details exactly how you get multiple selections.  When
MultiSelect is utilized, the programmer has to loop through the ListBox to see
if the Item is in a "Selected" state and then to act on that information as the
programmer sees fit (add to a string or whatever).  A listbox does not mimic
the behavior of a Choose.  They are two entirely different processes.  Also,
don't be detered from using a cursor to populate a ListBox, as there isn't much
of a performance hit for doing so.  That said, the MultiSelect capability of
the User Defined Listbox is a welcome addition to RB7.x.

I am putting the Example File in a Zip File that contains a working form using
Multiselect with the new properties at:

  Add it to the ConComp db as it uses the Company table for its' data.
