Karen - you may want to include an item called '_ALL' and then have the
program test for that number

Good thought, but let me tell ya why this won't work for me. The client
still needs to be able to just check 1 or 2 items; they won't always want
to do the "select all". In order to do that, I'm assuming you suggest
that I do a scrolling region, with a checkbox for the Y/N
field. Unfortunately I don't like doing this because you have to do 2
mouse clicks in order to change the checkbox. The first mouse click
highlights the row and gives you focus; the second mouse click changes the
check box. My clients don't like that. I want the ability to do a
one-click select, plus the ability to select all. Basically like a
regular old ChkBox choose list, but as a nicer form control rather than a
popup menu...

Karen,
You could base this on a temporary table and add a column
called selectedYN TEXT (1) DEFAULT N
Then you could have a variable checkbox 'Select All' that would
update all the selectedYN to Y and refresh your listview.
Then the user could deselect as necessary.
