Saurabh,

Why are you using two listboxes if the rows are related to each other? Why not one two-column list? (I'm pretty sure that what you are trying to do will require API calls and be pretty complicated to set up, for no gain that I can see)

Rory,

The reason im using two listboxes because im doing lot of further processing of data selected on the basis of listbox1 value...okay let me tell you the further background...this is just a dummy data...the original data populated from excel...for which i create listbox1 and 2 since there are two values in it...basis of the value selected on listbox1...the listbox2 value is just for reference  as in further details about it about whats been picked up..because of which its been disabled...basis of that i again query my access database to get the result from the value which is picked up from listbox1...so thats what im doing...

If there is a better way to do this...do let me know...im open to changes as im the owner of this report and can change to whatever i think the best way to do it....

Saurabh....

If there's a one to one relationship between the data in listbox1 and that in listbox2, I don't see any reason to have two listboxes from what you describe. Can you explain again why you can't use one two-column list?

 

by: saurabh726Posted on 2009-01-30 at 10:36:37ID: 23511381

One two column list...as in..?? Combining both the values of the column into 1 listbox...??

Yep - as in the attached.

 

by: roos01Posted on 2009-01-30 at 11:27:55ID: 23511885

Perhaps Im missing something, when looking at the example file I only see one listbox.
If you had a second listbox and you want the listbox 1 the enabled listbox then this might help perhaps:
Private Sub ListBox1_Click()
ListBox2.ListIndex = ListBox1.ListIndex
End Sub
