Hi Ronan,

I had this problem with a listbox, and I did a little "hacking" as follows:

while r.available
    listbox1.Add(r["name"] & String$(30," ") & r["id"])
    r.movenext
wend

The table id is embedded in the same string as the name
with a space padding
This way the (id) does not show in the listbox window.

To extract the (id) from the selected listbox item

PUBLIC SUB listbox1_Click()

Dim sID as String
Dim recID as Integer

sID=listbox1[listbox1.Index].Text
recID=CInt(Right$(sID,6))
.......

END

It might not be elegant, but it serves my purpose.

Maurice
