Since, this item, the list, allows for multiple items to be selected, you would have to wait till the submit button is clicked to gather all the items selected by the user, is that not correct? But, how would you do that? You can't just look at one value for the Form item when it is a list. More than one item can have the "selected" property, so how do you find all items that have this value and return the value of the item selected? And how do you access the value of the items selected by the user? Thanks, Bruce
