ListOf is perfectly OK as long as the result doesn't exceed the largest variable (note) length. Like my example at the Spring Converence with tens of thousands (41,000 +) items added in a few seconds, ListOf wouldn't work to well....

I found this method also works SELECT (listof(Sys_Table_Name)) INTO vSysTables INDICATOR viSysTables FROM Sys_Tables PROPERTY lbTables LISTITEMSCLEAR 'TRUE' PROPERTY lbTables LISTITEMS .vSysTables I have also found clicking the right mouse button before releasing the left mouse button will allow the multiselect to work with user defined listboxes with an expression. Using the other 3 load methods doesn't require the right mouse button to be clicked which makes it more user friendly. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MikeB Posted At: Thursday, November 25, 2004 2:12 PM Posted To: RB7-L Conversation: [RBG7-L] - Re: CHKBOX funtionality in Forms Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: CHKBOX funtionality in Forms > Thanks, Mike, but please could you do me a favour and either re-post > or send me privately that example? > > Also, I have been experimenting today with a "Variable LookUp Listbox" > but you talk of a "User Defined Listbox" - will your solution work on both? http://www.byerley.net/multiSelectForm.zip This is the Example I was referring. This Only works on a Variable User Defined ListBox, but there is nothing that *Can't* be done using it, except employ the MultiSelect when you use Expressions for Lookups. In other words, just use a Declare Cursor and the ListItemsADD Property to populate the ListBox or do a Select to a file on disk, and use the Load_From_File property to populate it. Then MultiSelect works perfectly. > > Regards, > Alastair.
