I use VB3... so it should be VB3 code, if anyone knows how to do it.

I only have access to vb4 but this should help you get started in your own research..

SaveListInfo:

Dim ListWord AS String
If List1.ListCount >= 1 Then
For MyCycle = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
ListWord = List1.List(MyCycle)
'save ListWord
Next
End If

Hey... About your post, MiggyD, thanks for replying so fast! But I have a question about the given code. Do you know how to save all items in the listbox to a file? I have only been programming for like 2 months and I do it in my spare time, so I am not really experienced when I have to figure out things like this. LOL... If you could let me know about that, that'd be great! Thanks so much!

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.

Hey, I figured it out!

I'm glad you were able to figure it out.

Good luck with your learning.
