itemnumber is the number of the item in the list you want to display. I think you want to use the text for the selected item so you would use this code: rs3.Fields(3.Value) = List1.List(List1.ListIndex) If you are just starting I would suggest reading this [URL="http://www.vb6.us/guides/visual-basic-6-beginners-guide"]Beginners VB6 Guide[/URL] I also …
