Checking if File1 Box is selected...

[perlone]

How do I check to see if the user have selected a file from the File1 box? I want to disable the command "Delete" button, if they have not selected any item from the File1 box. Thank you for your time. There is no Knowledge that is not power.

the control should have a ListIndex property that would be equal to -1 if no item is selected

You could also set the command button's enabled property to false then enable it in the file listbox's click event:

Private Sub File1_Click()

    Command1.Enabled = True

End Sub

Then when the button is clicked, disable it again:

Private Sub File1_Click()

    If MsgBox("Delete this file?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Delete File") = vbYes Then

        'Confimed
        'Code to delete file
        
        'Disable button - it will be
        'enabled again if user clicks another file
        Command1.Enabled = True
    
    End If 'User clicks 'Yes'

End Sub

This should ensure that the button is only enabled when they click a file name.

Hope this helps
