selected item in list box set to a newly added row? 1

[JGALEY]

I have a web form with a listbox, and when I add a record to the DB, I have the listbox cleared and then recreated with the new record included.

How can I have the new record be the selected row of the list box after the add is complete?

Thanks in advance,

Jason

With ListBox1
.SelectedIndex = .Items.IndexOf(.Items.FindbyText("MyNewValue&quot
End With

Hope that helps

Thanks, that put me on the right track! I had to do a

.Items.IndexOf(.Items.FindbyValue(MyVariable)

to make it work the way I wanted, but that really helped me understand what was happening.

make sure you check for when it can't find it in the list.... ie. findbyvalue returns null
