changing multiselect type with radio buttons

[Krullms]

What I am trying to do is have 2 radio buttons below a list box which lets you select what selection type you want, either simple =1 or extended =2. In the help files it says to just assign the value to the form item.
"To set the MultiSelect property, you can use the following:

Forms("Order Entry").Controls("Country").MultiSelect = 2 ' Extended.
"

So in the afterupdate of my frame i have it set my listbox to 2
Me.lstCompanyName.MultiSelect = 2
but i get an error that says:

Run-time error '2448':
You can't assign a value to this object

I also tried the exact way that it says in the help file and it gives me the same message

Any suggestions?

I think the form must be in design view if you want to change that property.

Hope This Helps, PH.
