How can I assign the contents of a recordset to the row source of a list box.

I hoped that it would be as simple as :-

set mylistbox.rowsource = rst

where rst is a recordset containing approx 2000 records.

If I have to use the additem method (assuming that it is not this easy) how do I add muliple columns to the listbox?

Thanks for any support.

Chris,

How do you define the recordset? Get the sql statement that's used to build the recorset and put that into the list box. If it's a recordsetclone of a form, you can just grab the recordsource of the form. If you set it in code, with a sql statement, just use that sql statement.
