In an attempt to solve this problem I added the line 8 to the code

Private Sub LstBoxCustInfo_Change()
Dim SourceData As Range
Dim Val1 As String, Val2 As String, Val3 As String, Val4 As String

Set SourceData = Range("MyDataRange")

Val1 = LstBoxCustInfo.Value
Val2 = SourceData.Offset(LstBoxCustInfo.ListIndex, 1).Resize(1,
1).Value
Val3 = SourceData.Offset(LstBoxCustInfo.ListIndex, 2).Resize(1,
1).Value


(LIne 8)
Val4 = SourceData.Offset(LstBoxCustInfo.ListIndex, 3).Resize(1,
1).Value


Label1.Caption = Val1 & " " & Val2 & " " & Val3 & " " & Val4
End Sub

I now get all 3 fields of data together for the record - but I am
getting the wrong record. I have all the records that begin with letter
A in the list box, if I click on, say record 4, instead of getting
record 4 in the list box I am getting record 4 from the table. I tried
using Val1 = LstBoxCustInfo.ListIndex but that didn't do it - all that
did was print the index number of the record on the table.

Could someone please show me how to get the correct record returned when
the user chooses one from the listbox?

Thanks for your time and expertise

I found this bit of code on the net while reading thru the groups for
help and I adapted it a bit to fit my (hoped for) app:

It is code to capture the list box choice and it shows me the results in
a label just to test what is happening.

Private Sub LstBoxCustInfo_Change()
Dim SourceData As Range
Dim Val1 As String, Val2 As String, Val3 As String

Set SourceData = Range("MyDataRange")

Val1 = LstBoxCustInfo.Value
Val2 = SourceData.Offset(LstBoxCustInfo.ListIndex, 1).Resize(1,
1).Value
Val3 = SourceData.Offset(LstBoxCustInfo.ListIndex, 2).Resize(1,
1).Value

Label1.Caption = Val1 & " " & Val2 & " " & Val3
End Sub

Well, it captures the first column correctly, but I can't figure out
where it is getting the info in the second and third columns. The info
it is grabbing for val2 and val3 is correct in that it is from the
proper columns, but it is incorrect in that it does not belong to the
record chosen in the first column.

Any ideas?

Also, if I need the data from all the columns on my table, must I
include all these columns in the list box - I expect so but I sure would
like to be able to do it in a manner that keeps them hidden from the
user's eyes. Could I achieve this by having a '0' width value for the
columns I don't want to show in the listbox, yet I would be able to
manipulate the data to get what I want for the user?

One more question please:
what does .Resize(1,1) do

Thank you

Using MSOfficePro 2003, winxp proSP2

I want to generate a worksheet by grabbing some sheets from a different
wb - then dumping certain columns from the sheets I grabbed.

I have a table that contains CustName, CustStreet, CustCity, Vendor1,
Vendor2, Vendor3 (etc - it will vary by customer and the purpose of this
is to tell me which sheets to grab from the other wb) and I will always
be grabbing ColA, ColB and ColC plus one more column from the sheets I
keep from the original.

This table loads in a listbox so the user can make the choice which
customer they need to work with. The list box shows only the first 3
columns, but when the user clicks on a choice, I will need to capture
the information for the entire record.

My questions a
How (and where in the wb does the code go) do I capture the choice the
user makes. I think the code will go in the lstBox.click event and the
choice will be referenced by List1.ListIndex. That is about all I know
right now, and I am really wondering if the List1.ListIndex entry will
contain all of the fields present in the record - if it does, how do I
access the different fields in the record so that I can use them to
manipulate the dumping of certain sheets and columns in the original
workbook so the user gets only the relevant info?

If you know of a good example on the net or amongst the excel mvps that
I could study to help myself, I sure would appreciate being pointed in
that direction.

As always, thank you for your time and expertise
