    Looping through a multi select listbox - how do I do it?


    Hi,

    Ive been reading and reading but I dont really get how to do it. I have an sql query which outputs the results to a list box. What I then want to do is select some if not all of the listbox results and run an update query on them - I get what required its just the looping through the selections I dont understand. Does anyone have a working example or can they explain whats going on?

    Thanks

    Thanks Bob, do you have to create a query to do this or can you do it all from VBA?

    Sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking.
    Can you do all what from VBA?

    If you really want to, sure. But if all you want to do is read the data, then the easiest solution by far is to simply reference the original Query used to make the Listbox in the first place. It will have all the data in the Listbox and (presumably) you already know how to navigate through and search Recordsets. . .
