as far as i know listbox properties is set to readonly.
how can you input data into it unless you put a textbox on it.

If you just want to know how to fill the list box in the first place, there are almost too many ways. At least I can't keep them all straight in my mind. First you need to fill in the RowSourceType property to let the listbox know what sort of thingee to look for. It can be a table, coursor, a literal list of data, a file, a SQL statment, etc. Then the RowSource property tells the listbox what the name of the table, query, file, etc. is. Often you'll start off by leaving the RowSourceType at none until you've set up your data the way you want it. Then you fill in RowSourceType and RowSource and refresh the listbox or the form.

I'd suggest you create a practice form with just a list box and a commandbutton (and maybe a textbox if you want to practice the additem method. Then play with various possibilities until you feel confindent.

By the way, assuming you use your command button to set things in motion, put code in the click even like:

thisform.MyListbox.RowSourceType = 1
thisform.MyListbox.RowSource = "First value, Second value, Third Value"
thisform.refresh
