Unfortunately, I've never found a way to edit list controls ;-> and
multiple columns are problematic.

=======As a personal druther, I actually find it easier to work with
list controls than subforms -- can't say why, I just do -- and they look
cool too. It isn't an automate populating soluting like subforms, but
rather, a drill-down solution.
