Copy value from List Box using Double Click Event
I have an unbound list box with values that I would like to populate a memo field using a double click event. Any suggestions. The memo text box is bound to a table. I was hoping there would be a simple On_Double_Click event procedure that can copy the value to the memo field.

You can, but double clicking the item in the list works fine, so why not...

Assuming:
txtMemo is your text box linked to memo filed
lstOptions is your list box to choose from.
On the dbl click event (of this list box) have:
txtMemo = Nz(txtMemo) & ", " * lstOptions
this will add your choise to the existing value of the list box seperated by a comma.

correction:
txtMemo = Nz(txtMemo) & ", " & lstOptions
to avaid the comma in case there was no value int the memo field, use:
txtMemo = iif(Nz(txtMemo,"")="", "", ", ") & lstOptions
txtMemo = Nz(txtMemo) & ", " & lstOptions
to avaid the comma in case there was no value int the memo field, use:
txtMemo = iif(Nz(txtMemo,"")="", "", ", ") & lstOptions
How can you Copy and Paste from a List box ??
In the On Dbl Click event of the List box:
Me.YourMemoFieldTextBoxNam
mx
In the On Dbl Click event of the List box:
Me.YourMemoFieldTextBoxNam
mx
just as you have it:
Me.YourMemoFieldTextBoxNam
When you double click on the list box like
City:
----------------
Los Angeles |
San Diego |
. |
. |
. |
-----------------
^-- lstCity
When you double click on this list box, say on San Diego option, using:
Me!txtMemo = Me!lstCity
puts San diego into txtMemo box.

Me!txtMemo = Me!lstCity
puts San diego into txtMemo box.

Here the code needs to be in the double click event of the list box (if wasn't made it clear).

Is there any additional concerns you may have?

<How can you Copy and Paste from a List box >
... just like you can with a combobox. It will copy the data in the Bound column.
(But I would still rather use automation)

Aahh so. Well, like I said, there is some conflicting info. That post was the most recent info I've across. However, I'm going to cross check all of that ... cuz I want to be sure it's 100% accurate. Like, that part about C&R re-optimizing stored queries ... don't recall hearing that per se in the past.
My partner and I did confirm some other stuff on indexes yesterday ... which is ... when you create a say ... a one to many (real) relationship (with ref integrity = yes) between two tables, Access automatically creates a hidden index on the field in the Many table. You won't see it in the properties for that field in table design view - it will say Indexed=No ... BUT ... if you enumerate tabledefs/indexes on that (Many) table, you WILL see it. AND ... if you go ahead and set Indexed=Yes for that field ... you will actually end up with two (duplicate) indexes!!
This becomes important when you start to reach the 32 index limit in any one table ..ie, there may be hidden indexes you do see listed in the Index (lighting bolt) dialog ... which was the case with and mdb he inherited .. and was trying to create another relationship on that table ... and Access said: "Sooo sorree, 32 index limit exceeded!!!"

johnberniejones,
Your original question:
<I have an unbound list box with values that I would like to populate a memo field using a double click event.>
burrcm, proposed solution:
< memo = Text1 >
Your reply:
<I've just realised I can select copy and paste using simple ctrl c and v keys... Thanks>
However your own "Solution" does satisfy the "Double-Click" criteria you set forth in the original question?
