    Populate List Box & Read Value From VBA

    I want to only do this with VBA as the values are going to be static and never change. I am going to add a listbox and name it listbox1 - I need to use vba to add a NULL value - default selection, and add the values Joe, John. And also in VBA read the selected value from the listbox. pseudocode would be
    Code:
    'populatelistbox
    listbox1.Values = Array(NULL, "Joe", "John")
    
    'read listbox values
    if listbox1.Value = NULL Then 
       MessageBox.Show("You must select a name")
    Else
       pickedvalue = listbox1.Selection
    endif
    
    'process depending
    if pickedvalue = "Joe" Then
        MessageBox.Show "You Picked Joe"
    Else if pickedvalue = "John" Then
        MessageBox.Show "You Picked John"
    End if

    If the values are static, why not set them in design view and be done with it? To do it in code you'd use AddItem I think, but I've never bothered.

    @pbadly - setting in design works perfectly. How would I read the value selected?

    If the list box is single select and the code is on the same form:

    Msgbox Me.ListboxName
