You can ask anyone who has achieved success at anything and they will (without exception) tell you that what I'm saying is true. In your heart, you already know it's true.

You need to look at each element of the data you want the user to input and ask yourself, "What am I expecting the user to input?" and "What other things might the user input that will create problems?" and then "How can I change my design to eliminate the problems?".

Then, when you go to write the code, you will find that there are a lot of conditions that you don't have to write code to check for because you will have designed the possibility of those conditions out of the software. Your code will be simpler, easier to write and debug and easier for someone else to read.

4. For the "Row Source" enter the name of the table or query you want to use to provide the data to populate the ListBox. In your case, you are probably want to use a query since you only want to display the table entries that correspond to the subject that the user chooses and the day of the week the user chooses. The query should probably have an "ORDER BY StartTime" clause in it. This way it will be easier for a student to pick a class that occurs at a convenient time.
5.For "Bound Column", enter the column number in the query that corresponds to "Start Time".
6. Click on the "Format" tab.
7. Enter the "Column Count".
8. For "Column Heads" select "Yes". This will cause the ListBox to display the field names in the query as the column headings.
9. For "Column Widths", you are going to have to experiment a little. The "Column Widths" property consists of numbers separated by semicolons (. There should be as many widths as you specified in "Column Count". Make sure that the sum of the column widths does not exceed the width of the ListBox.
10. Click on the "Other" tab and enter the name of the ListBox as you will refer to it in your code.

That's it.
