Need Duplicate List Box

[newbie]

I have a form that contains tab. Tab 1 and 2 display information based off of a list box selection. The list box is identical on both tabs. I would like for them to by in sync. So, if a user selects item 1 on tab 1 when they go to tab 2 item will will be highlighted in the listbox. Is this possible?

If you put just one ListBox on the form instead of a page of the tab, it will show up on both tabs. Does that help?

That is how I had it originally, however the list box does not pertain to all the other tabs that I have, so I was loosing a lot of space to display information.

I thought you only had two tabs, sorry. How about playing with setting it invisible when you are on a page where you don't want it? You can use the Tab Control's Change event for this.

Can you give more detail on this option? I placed the listbox on the form, so it now displays on all of my tabs (pages). Then I went to one of the pages I do not want the list box to be visible on and accessed the properties/events. The only events I can see are On Click, On Double Click, On Mouse Down, On Mouse Move, and On Mouse Up.

You are on a Tab Page. You need to select the TabControl which is usually named TabCtl & number. The Index of the TabControl tells you what page you are on so you can just have a case statement to set the visible property of the ListBox.

Private Sub TabCtl0_Change()
   Select Case Me.TabCtl0.Value
      Case Is < 2
         Me.ListBoxName.Visible = True
      Case Else
         Me.ListBoxName.Visible = False
   End Select
End Sub

...using your control names of course.
