Listbox question

[EAB1977]

I am using a listbox to show my users what parts we have in our
department. Is it possible to add a background color to a item in a
list box if it meets certain criteria? I know you can do something
like this in VB6 or .NET, but wondered if it was possible with A2003.

AFAIK, it's not possible with the native listbox (but then, I don't think it
was possible in VB6 either)

There are third party controls out there that can do this, though. I think
T-List, from Bennet-Tec Information Systems can do it, and it does work
with Access http://www.bennet-tec.com/btproducts/tlist/tlist.htm

If you do go the third-party route, make sure that the control is compatible
with Access before purchasing it! Access is far pickier than VB6 was.

A Flex Grid Control will probably do what you want but you will need
to write a bit of VBA code, have a look at my Flex Grid Demo program
for some examples.
