To answer your question: Yes...the entire list can be saved to a file if you choose to.
So, how would you do it? Well, check out VB's help files for the OPEN, PRINT, WRITE, CLOSE, SAVESETTINGS, GETSETTINGS, and LISTBOX statements. It should all be there under examples.
I'll reiterate again, this is based on VB4 programming, but it should be very similar to VB3; AND hopefully gets you stared in your own acquisition of knowledge.
