Hi

I have seen your previous thread also. I did not contribute because I am in agreement with what Rick posted. The ideal choice of mine will be a Grid on this occassion. I dont understand why you are not thinking about a grid. You can return the values from the grid, whatever you get from a list box.

The list box will scroll .. i.e. do the incremental only if the value matches exactly. Otherwise..to my knowledge, the list box dont scroll. However, as I mentioned, this is to my knowledge. I always prefer a grid and very very rarely OR I can say.. almost nil, that I use list box control. This is just a preference of mine.

If you still need help on this, I would give a try, if you exactly post or email the code to me. What you have provided is very little info to act on.

Best of luck ramani :-9
