Listbox Problem..

Hi, I was wondering if anybody out there could help me out a little bit. I have two list boxes and 2 buttons, there are items in listbox 1 and the first button adds the items to the list box2, the second button only removes items from listbox2 and does not alter any of the items in list box1. As the items in listbox are linked to a data base the following coding was used with the add button: Listbox2.Items.Add(ListBox1.GetItemText(ListBox1.SelectedItem)) What i really really need help with is If an item is selected from Listbox2 (To be removed), I JUST want the item to be selected in list box1, well I have the following coding: If Listbox2.Items.Count > 0 Then ListBox1.SelectedItem = Listbox2.Items(Listbox2.Items.Count - 1) End If I have changed the SelectedItems to FindStringExact and other methods as Listbox1 contains DataRowView objects and ListBox2 contains String objects but still none of them seem to be working. Please could you give me any suggestions?

Yaki,

It's very hard to read your posting--it actually runs off the screen to the right. Can you please re-post your code in standard top-down format?

As a general solution, why don't you declare a global variable:

Public gvar as String

at the top of your code that you can pass the name (.Text) of what was selected to and then reference it in the code for your second listbox?

Thanks!
