Some of the albums are compilations, with more than one artist. So the number
of artists is larger than the number of albums.

Similar to what I envisioned at least in concept.

If there are 55 artists, then 33 Albums seems suspect.

That would indicate that all the artists are not included in the database?

Hi,

I put up some screenshots and explanations:

But this is already provided by the the autofilter. the only difference
is
you have to click the dropdown to see the choices. At the same time,
you
can look at the database/rows themselves for the complete picture - once
you
get genre, artist and album, only the songs should be displayed below.

I haven't seen iTunes, but if you can't see the genre, artist and album
in
the list below, you could reproduce that by hiding those columns and
interacting with listboxes as you describe (but the listboxes would be
setting conditions in the hidden autofilter dropdowns or using the
advanced
filter criteria).

If I did it, I would just be applying an autofilter and using John's
code to
populate the Listboxes.

If you want to send me your file and a description of what you want it
to
look like/operate, I will take a look.

Thanks, interesting . . . have to think of what I could make of it.

Actually, what I'm looking to do is to edit my music file tags in
excel by
mimicking the iTunes interface with the three "browser" list boxes
(Genre,
Artist, Album) above, and the full columns and rows below. If you make
no
choices (the default at the top of each list box is All), every song
in
the
library is listed in the rows and columns below.

As you move from left to right in the "browser" list boxes, each
selection
you make filters the choices available in the next list box. For
example,
choosing Rock under Genre filters out Jazz, Classical, etc., Artists,
leaving
only Rock Artists and Rock Albums. (It also shows only Rock songs in
the
rows
and columns below.) Clicking a Rock Artist's name in the second list
box
shows only his albums in the Albums list box, and his songs in the
rows
below. Finally, clicking a specific album in the Album list box
displays
only
that album's songs in the bottom rows and columns.

I'm actually looking to hire someone to do this . . . if you are
interested,
or can you recommend someone?

Thanks,

Dave

Thanks. I've been reading up, and I think what I really want is a
list
box
that functions like an autofilter pull-down. It just displays 10
lines
or
so
at a time and has a scroll bar. Anyone know how to assign
autofilter
behavior
to a list box?

Sorry, I think I should have posted this here to start.

Any way to get an Autofilter pulldown to display as a
scrolling
list?

Thanks,

Dave
