Hi,

I have a question regarding ListBox and Append queries.

I want to be able to select an item in a listbox, and have a button
that when clicked, take the value of that selected item in the listbox
and enter it into a Criteria field of an Append Query.

Essentially , I want to Run this Append Query with a selected criteria
from the list box. This way, I will only append the seleted item(s) to
a new table.

Please advice, it is very important to me. Thanks

Your use of the word "item(s)" suggests that you want multi-select capability
for your listbox. If this is true, you will need to ensure that the Multi
Select property is set to either Simple or Extended (as opposed to the
default None). You'll also need to use VBA code to iterate the .SelectedItems
property of your listbox. Before showing you an example of how to do that,
can you verify that you indeed do want multiselect capability?

Tom,

Ah, yes, I do have the Extended option on. So it is a multi Select
listbox.

Thank for the quick response,

Tom,

I do want the listbox to have multiselect capacity. And does it matter
to have the listbox connectd to a table in stead of a query? the code
should be the same, except the name of the query inplace of the table,
right?

for my list box, I have it connected to a query, so that it displays
all items in this query.


Thanks Tom

The Row Source for your listbox can be a table or a query.

I tell you what....instead of me trying to think up an example based on
Northwind, can you send me a zipped copy of your database as a starting
point? You can substitute any sensitive data with dummy data. My e-mail
address is available at the bottom of the contributors page indicated in the
link shown below. Please do not post your e-mail address (or mine) to a
newsgroup reply.
