Joe, you are using an extended list box, if I change my list to extended this works too but I need to use a simple list box. When a simple list box is used this doesnt work!
I need the simple list as they need to be able to select non contigous entries ( or am I wrong and they can do this in extended?)
For anyone reading this thread- it does work well with an extended list box.

Jane,
Ok, I got you now. I fixed it.. Change the code of the click event for clear to this:
[tt]
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To (lstGroceries.ListCount - 1)
lstGroceries.Selected(i) = False
Next i
[/tt]
Then it will clear for a simple listbox, as well as an extended. Sorry for my mixup.

Good, glad you got it.
BTW, you CAN select non-contiguous in extended listboxes, the difference is that the user has to use modifier keys (SHIFT, CTRL) like they do in other windows apps, like explorer. CTRL+Click allows you to select any values (like the simple), and Click an item then SHIFT+Click selects all items between. I usually use the extendeds, because most of my users are familiar with the conventions.
