Can a text box have columns, like a list box? Must a list box always have an item (or row) selected? Thanks - Kirk |

Kirk,
1 - Basically, no. But you can fake it yourself with a fixed-width font and spaces/tabs, but it's likely to get messy. 2 - No. Set its .ListIndex=-1 NickHK "kirkm" wrote in message ...

But I can't see a ListIndex option in the listbox properties. I tried Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() List1.ListIndex = -1 End Sub ...but that didn't seem to do anything. I'd like to use a listbox as a text display only, without anything highlit and any user input ignored. Except Close and scroll. Is that possible? Thanks - Kirk |

Kirk,
Sorry, I was thinking of a ComboxBox. With a ListBox, you have to .Clear it. However, if you only need 1 line of text, a text or label box may be better. TextBox1.Text="Column one" & Space(4) & "Column two" & Space(4) & "Column three" Depends if you need the columns to line up with anything external. NickHK "kirkm" wrote in message ...
