Hello,

Got a small question.
Can two listboxes be linked so that when a selection is made in one listbox,
the selection in the other is autmatically updated ?

Description :
I use a form in an Excel sheet to do some reporting over our cars and their
drivers, on the inputform there are two listboxes LB1 with a list of cars
and LB2 with a list of drivers.
The purpose is to be able to select either the car or the driver, if one
does not know which driver corresponds with which car.

So, if a car is selected in LB1 the value of LB2 has to change to the
corresponding driver.
Otherwise, if a driver is selected in LB2 the value of LB1 has to change to
the corresponding car.
To avoid mistakes I also want to lock the second listbox after a selection
is made.
So if a selection is made in LB1, then LB2 has to be locked and vice versa.

I'm trying for this to work through the Listbox Change event but I get all
kind of error messages.
I'm sure it has to be something simple and I'm just looking over it.

I hope someone can help me with this ?

Thanks in advance !

Just assign the appropriate rowsource/listfillrange of the second (or first)
LB in the click event of the first (or second). You need to check if the
other LB is already set or use a public boolean variable, checked and set by
these events to prevent recursive execution of the events.
