Excel form refresh add more columns to ListView

I have an Excel form that uses a ListView to present data. The user clicks on one of the rows and the row information appears in editing boxes. However, when the user changes information, I want the form to refresh with the new data, that list, the listview reflect the changed information. However, I tried calling the form's initallize event to refresh the ListView, but its add more columns to the ListView to the right. It does show the chagnes, but I get extra columns. That is, the orignal data columns appear, but another set of blank columns are added at the end. I tried using Me.Repaint, but that does not refresh th form to reflect the new data. So,how do I get the ListView to refresh its data after the user has made and saved the changes?

Sid, sorry I have not gotten back, but my son and his wife live in Chiba in Japan and I have spent the last few days trying to find them. They are safe and I will get to this question.

I have the clear method in the Form's initalize event, but that does not seem to prevent the extra columns when it is called again to refresh after a change. I have attached the code. This is actually inits own module that is called when the form is initialized so I also call it when I delete data.

'Need to figure out how to get rid of SalesLogic control at start of procedure and then
'add it back at the end to the reference library.
Dim lvItem  As ListItem
Dim i       As Integer

flgEdit = "No"
flgAdd = "No"

intRowStart = fntRangeStartEndsRows("Start", "ss_ACTQualitybreakdown")
intRowEnd = fntRangeStartEndsRows("End", "ss_ACTQualitybreakdown")

'Now initialize the listview box
    ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Quality Breakdown", 90
    ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "LookUp Value", 75
    ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "", 0
    ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "", 0
    ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "", 0
    ListView1.ColumnHeaders.Add , , "Sort Order", 50
    

ListView1.View = lvwReport
ListView1.FullRowSelect = True
ListView1.ListItems.Clear
For i = intRowStart To intRowEnd
    Set lvItem = ListView1.ListItems.Add()
    lvItem.text = Worksheets("DataSource").Range("A" & i).Value
    ListView1.ListItems(ListView1.ListItems.Count).ListSubItems.Add , , (Worksheets("DataSource").Range("B" & i).Value)
    ListView1.ListItems(ListView1.ListItems.Count).ListSubItems.Add , , (Worksheets("DataSource").Range("C" & i).Value)
    ListView1.ListItems(ListView1.ListItems.Count).ListSubItems.Add , , (Worksheets("DataSource").Range("D" & i).Value)
    ListView1.ListItems(ListView1.ListItems.Count).ListSubItems.Add , , (Worksheets("DataSource").Range("E" & i).Value)
    ListView1.ListItems(ListView1.ListItems.Count).ListSubItems.Add , , (Worksheets("DataSource").Range("F" & i).Value)
Next i

Sid, I figured it out! When I call the InitializeListView1 event in the Delete code, it is doing exactly what I told it to do! it is adding another set of column headers as it goes thorough the code. I moved the code to a another module, called it ReinitalizeListView1, but took out the ColumnHeaders adding section. Now, it does exactly what I want, refreshes the form with the correct data, but no extra columns are appended!

This worked to clear the items. It prompted me to look further.

Attached is the final version of what does work.

Private Sub ReInitializeListView1()
Dim lvItem  As ListItem
Dim i       As Integer

flgEdit = "No"
flgAdd = "No"

intRowStart = fntRangeStartEndsRows("Start", "ss_ACTQualitybreakdown")
intRowEnd = fntRangeStartEndsRows("End", "ss_ACTQualitybreakdown")

ListView1.View = lvwReport
ListView1.FullRowSelect = True
ListView1.ListItems.Clear

For i = intRowStart To intRowEnd
    Set lvItem = ListView1.ListItems.Add()
    lvItem.text = Worksheets("DataSource").Range("A" & i).Value
    ListView1.ListItems(ListView1.ListItems.Count).ListSubItems.Add , , (Worksheets("DataSource").Range("B" & i).Value)
    ListView1.ListItems(ListView1.ListItems.Count).ListSubItems.Add , , (Worksheets("DataSource").Range("C" & i).Value)
    ListView1.ListItems(ListView1.ListItems.Count).ListSubItems.Add , , (Worksheets("DataSource").Range("D" & i).Value)
    ListView1.ListItems(ListView1.ListItems.Count).ListSubItems.Add , , (Worksheets("DataSource").Range("E" & i).Value)
    ListView1.ListItems(ListView1.ListItems.Count).ListSubItems.Add , , (Worksheets("DataSource").Range("F" & i).Value)
Next i
End Sub
