I downloaded ListBox_Search_2000 from
http://www.databasedev.co.uk/downloads.html.

I also downloaded Search2000 from Allen Browne's website.

Using these concepts, I want to create a search form. I want a listbox like
the one from databasedev. The listbox is filled from a query. This query is
generated by the user, by using controls like in Allen Browne's search form
(cboBoxes, txtBoxes, etc.)

Problem:
I have a lot more columns than the list box from databasedev. If the user
scrolls horizontally in the listbox, the sort buttons won't match the
columns. I've read here that you cannot sort by clicking on column heads in
a listbox (that would be too easy!)

Solution?:
I was thinking about using a tab control on my search form. On the first
page, I would have all the search criteria, and also drop down options for
sorting. The listbox would be on the second tab. It is filled when the user
switches from the first tab to the second.

Any advice?? I would really appreciate anyone who has a sample form like
this. Or a sample form that would accomplish what I need in another way.

Thank you,
Steve
