Hi Dave
Yes - just played around with putting the source data in a 2 column array
and populating the listbox with lboList.List().
Subsequent changes to original values are amended to the listbox via the
textbox entry and lboList.List(lboList.ListIndex, 1) = OriginalValue + 12.00
as I wanted.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Dave
Yes I used rowsource.
I suppose another way might be to write the amended value back to the source
on the wsheet then use rowsource to refresh the listbox. I wonder if
creating an array of the source would suit. Either way it seems more code is
necessary.

Thanks

Did you populate that listbox via .rowsource?

If yes, try populating it some other way (.additem?).

Hi
I have a 2 column listbox on a form and a textbox and I want to amend a
selected listbox item via the textbox entry.

When I select a value in the listbox for example:
OriginalValue = lboList.List(lboList.ListIndex, 1) = 6.14

And the value to be added (or subtracted) entered in the textbox = 12.00

Then I would expect this to work:

lboList.List(lboList.ListIndex, 1) = OriginalValue + 12.00

but it gives an error 'Could not set the list property. Permission denied.'
Indeed any value I try to set such as 'rubbish' gives an error.

What am I doing wrong?

T.I.A.
