Multiselect List Box Problem

Multiselect List Box Problem

Multiselect List Box Problem

(OP)
Here’s another one…those darned list boxes again.  This time I’m working with a multiselect list box (this is a new one for me).  Running a querydef from the SQL I’m wanting to populate the criteria in a field in the query with the Block ID numbers of the Blocks chosen from lstBlck.  This will show data about the selected Blocks.  Of course, in the criteria., if more than one is selected the query will need an “Or Like” in between the Block ID numbers.  For instance, if I select two blocks and the code runs it tries to put “8 Or Like 51 Or Like” (strList equals this) into the query as the criteria.  This is no good.  It needs to place … 8 Or Like 51 into the criteria instead.  Can anyone tell me how to rid the result of "strList" of the quotations and the trailing “Or Like”?

In other words:
strList = “8 Or Like 51 Or Like”
It needs to be this:
strList = 8 Or Like 51
 
Here is the code I’m using:

Private Sub lstBlck_AfterUpdate()
Dim db             As DAO.Database
Dim strSQL         As String
Dim intI           As Integer
Dim ctlBlck        As Control
Dim strList        As String

Set ctlBlck = [Forms]![frmWllRprtFltr]![lstBlck]

With ctlBlck
    If .MultiSelect = 0 Then
        txtselected = .Value
    Else
        For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected
            strList = strList & .Column(0, varItem) & " " & "Or Like" & " "
        Next varItem
    End If
End With

strSQL = ""
strSQL = strSQL & "SELECT tblpklstSctn.SctnID, tblpklstSctn.SctnBlckID, "
strSQL = strSQL & "tblpklstSctn.SctnNmbr "
strSQL = strSQL & "FROM tblpklstSctn "
strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE (((tblpklstSctn.SctnBlckID)=" & strList & ")); "

Set db = CurrentDb

    For intI = 0 To db.QueryDefs.Count - 1
        If db.QueryDefs(intI).Name = "qrylstSctn" Then
            db.QueryDefs(intI).SQL = strSQL
        End If
    Next intI

End Sub

RE: Multiselect List Box Problem

If (Right(strList, 8) = "Or Like ") Then

    strList = Left(strList, Len(strList) - 8)

End If

After the While Loop  --- BUT count the chars again --- my fingers are tired on Fri afternoons!!
