[AccessD] Multi-Select List Box problems

[Rocky Smolin]

When I had this problem, I iterated through the listbox (you can do this
with just the selected items) and add create a WHERE clause MyField1 =
value OR MyField2 = value, etc.  append that to the SQL of the query which
opens the recordset.

Crude but it works.
