Unbound ListBox

[Kevin Gilbert]

How do I create an unbound ListBox on a custom Outlook
form? When I add a ListBox it doesn't let me fill in the
possible values unless I associate it with a field. I
want to create an unbound multi-select ListBox with a
Click event that sets the value of a custom field to the
list of selected items.

I already tried a ListBox bound to a field, but that
doesn't show the saved selections when I reopen the form.
I wrote an Open event that selects the items when the form
opens, but if the user switches to a different page and
back again the list clears.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use code to set the List property of the control to an array with your selections in it. Or use AddItem to add each selection individually.
