From: John Spencer on 30 Mar 2010 07:50 Now, I am confused. A listbox would not display checkboxes. You select items in a listbox by clicking in a row. That selects the entire row. There is no option to select one item in the row. If you need more help, please start a new thread. I am going to be offline for the next few days.
