I made a userform that will compile a list of deliquent customers, and
put
them in a listbox. I wish to activate a Customer info form that'll display
the information of the customer that you click on from the listbox. I need
help with only one part of this. The listboxe has a 12 character phone
number
before every item (ie - 254-254-2542 - James Patterson) I wish to perform
the
search based off of the first 12 characters in the string (the phone
number)
when I click on one of the items from the list. Can someone give me a clue
as
to how to do this.
