Accessing listbox selection in listbox AfterUpdate event

[marle35]

I am using Access 2000. I have a single-selection listbox in a form, and I am able to access the selected value, but only at a later point like when a button is pressed. In the the AfterUpdate event for the listbox, the event fires but when I try to access the selected value, I get "Run-time error 2480: you referred to a property by a numeric argument that isn't one of the property numbers in the collection." I need to access the value when the item is selected, it's highly important. This code gives the basic idea:

Private Sub lstType_AfterUpdate()
MsgBox (lstType.ItemData(lstType.ItemsSelected(0)))
End Sub

What might be going wrong?

The selected value in a single selection listbox is the value of the listbox:
[tt]Me.lstType[/tt]

Or, if you insist:
[tt]Me.lstType.Value[/tt]

It is available in the click event.

Thanks, what threw me off was my original way was accessing the value in other procedures.
