[AccessD] Multiselect List box

John,

I normally use a hidden text box (that's bound to a data field) to store a delimited string containing the selected list item identifiers.  With every click on the list I repopulate the text box with all selected item identifiers.  When navigating to a new record you need to parse the data field containing the delimited string, looping through the delimited values and selecting the list items accordingly.  I can send you sample code (no db though) to give you an idea if you like (off-line request only).

Thanks,

Subject: [AccessD] Multiselect List box


I am working on a program in A2K, and I may have a need to use a
multiselect list box. Actually, I think it would be best, because the
choice have the potential to be altered in the future. However, I have
never used multiselects before, and I am wondering how much trouble I'm
getting into.

I am all for diving in and learning something new, but I am really
pressed for time here...this program must be put into operation by May
1st, and I am also playing a major part of moving an office of 200+
people to a new building, which starts on the 24th...I have to move and
setup their server and all routers. 

Should I just make the check boxes for now?  Or are the multiselects
easier than I am making them out to be?

I don't think I'd have a problem with their actual setup, but taking
the selections and putting them into the table is where I am a little
confused.

Thanks!

John W Clark
