Required Categories Code Question

[Sandy]

I have created a custom form with Required Categories
using the form and code from Slipstick (Sue M). I don't
know VB and am wondering if an AND statement will work
with Required Categories, for example:
User has to pick at least one category from the "Industry
Group" AND one from the "Client Group" which the two will
be described in the text box next to the Required
Categories box. If the AND statement isn't feasible, I
could create a drop down list to pick from the "Client
Group".

The form is designed to work with the built-in Categories field, which doesn't have any concept of subcategories or groups. It would take some of modification to do what you want. A pair of multiselect listboxes , then some code behind the form in the Item_Send event handler to concatenate the choices into a single Categories field might work better. There are at least a couple of different ways to handle that, none of them straightforward.

I can create a listbox for the Group category. Can you tell me how to
write the code to go behind it?
