i have a listbox /w 8 columns.

how would i update them to multiple fields in the table?

ie. listbox has

FIELD1, FIELD2, FIELD3, ETC

if user were to select a line from the list box and click OK

How can I have those information stored in the table?

am i making sense?
 
would it be possible to make the listbox bound to a "unique" column and then use dlookup to find the rest of the info?
 
Yes it would. Or you can use the Column property, starting from 0:
Me.cboCombo.Column(0)
 
im sorry but can you explain little bit more about the column property you are recommending me to use?
 
i was thinking of a combobox at first, but the same idea applies to a listbox. Perhaps you can try this, it explains better than I can:
Code:
Private Sub cmdShowMe_Click()
    If ([i]List0[/i].MultiSelect) Then
        For Each varItem In [i]List0[/i].ItemsSelected
            strList = strList & " " & [i]List0[/i].Column([red]0[/red], varItem)
        Next varItem
    Else
        strList = [i]List0[/i].Column([red]0[/red])
    End If


MsgBox "This is what you clicked: " & strList
End Sub

Change List0 to the name of your list box.
[red]0[/red] is the column number starting at 0. You can change it to show the contents for each of your eight columns.
