Jeremy, Jeremy French outlines the steps you need to follow. I would add a couple of ideas expanding on his post if you have multiple listboxes in a form.
The first is simply adopt a custom of putting all the listboxes in a single object of the parent form. So I might have: Form.LB.A... Which means "LB" is an object I use for all the listboxes. "A" is the object for the first listbox and so on. Subforms are really helpful in this situation too. You can design a subform whose only purpose is to display a listbox. This subform can be duplicated multiple times on the parent form and the subform object itself can be a collection or object. Now the cool part is the contents of the subform Form object ARE the Form object of the subform. And these can be linked to the parent form's Form. This is particularly convenient for configuring LBs for tools or controls of various types but they can also be full blown listboxes as well.
