Scott,

Listbox1.ListIndex = 3 ' selects the fourth item

-1 is no selection
0 is the first item
Listbox1.ListCount -1 = number of items in list box

I use the .additem to initially load the listbox and then use the .text
of it to make a selection through code. It works but as I stated not
consistently. Is there some other way to preselect a item in a listbox
using code when the list has already been created?

Thanks
Scott
