Selecting a list box item for update
Hello all,
I have a list box on my main form (lstBorrowerLoans) which should the books a borrower has on loan, due date, return date etc. In some cases, a borrower may haver several books out due at differeng days. I have another form called frmCheckIn which allows me to update the fields in the list box. Problem: The frmCheckIn only updates the first item in the list of items shown in the list box. How can i double click on say the second or fourth borrowed item in the list box and modify its value using frmCheckin? Many thanks in advance -- Carlee |

Selecting a list box item for update
Hi Carlee,
It sounds as if the field being used to link the list box item is not unique to the record, and, therefore, the process is selecting the first instance of the field it finds. E.g.: Jones has BookA and Jones has BookB. If the borrower name is the link, then the process searches until it finds the first instance of Jones and offers that up for update. If there is another field in the record that is unique to each borrowed book record (e.g. transaction ID, autonumber, etc.), add that to the list and use it as the selection key. If there is no such field, then you might have to try concatenating two fields from each record to fabricate a "unique" field for the record that could be used as the link (e.g.: borrower&title would create JonesBookA and JonesBookB). Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- Hello all, I have a list box on my main form (lstBorrowerLoans) which should the books a borrower has on loan, due date, return date etc. In some cases, a borrower may haver several books out due at differeng days.
