Need help with making a label using variables 1

[JunoKaguya]

How would I be able to make a labels' caption read what is selected in a list?  for example, "The" list1 " is red."  every way I try I get 'expected end of statement'

In the list1 click event place code ie:<br><br>label1.caption = list1.text<br><br><br>hope this helps<br><br>bob<br> <p>Robert L Norton<br><a href=mailto:2dogs@webace.com.au>2dogs@webace.com.au</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

or even better...
label1.caption = &quot;The&quot; & list1.text & &quot;is red.&quot;

By List1, I presume you mean a ListBox control. Try:

DIM ItemFromLstBox As String
ItemFromLstBox = List1.Index(List1.ListIndex)
Label1.Caption = &quot;The &quot; & ItemFromLstBox & &quot;is red&quot;

MiggyD's right, but you can shorten it down to a single line if it helps.

Label1.Caption = &quot;The &quot; & List1.Index(List1.ListIndex)& &quot;is red.&quot;

I prefer the text property if i'm just reading from the list cuz it's shorter but it doesn't really matter.
