Hello again! Anyone out there that can enlighten me as to how to setup my form so the list box (Simple multilist) will open with several items already selected?

I have the multiselect listbox feeding a query, but can't figure out for the life of me how to tell it which items to select when the form opens. The items automatically selected will be constant, but the items in the list box are dynamic, so the list index could change down the road.

Is there a way to reference the actual entry in the box rather than the index? Or perhaps a way to tell what the entry of list index 1 is?

Your help, as always, is greatly appreciated.
 
Take a look at the Column property of the ListBox object.

Hope This Helps, PH.
