Further to my previous message, I have set up a list box to allow multiple selections. How can I use these multiple selections in a query to select rows based on each value. the syntax I have (... = [forms]![formname]![listboxname]..)does not seem to work.

using multiple values from a list box in a query

Hi Ken,
You can't use the list box the way you have mentioned. You must iterate thru the ItemsSelected collection to get all the values.
You could write a public function as below:
Public Function getCriteria() as String
dim x as variant
dim str as string
str=""
For each x in [Forms]![yourFormName].List1.ItemsSelected
str=str & [Forms]![yourFormName].List1.Column(0,x)
Next x
getCriteria=str
End Sub
In the query criteria, you could use
In getCriteria()
I have not tried this code but hope this helps. Let me know what happens.
With regards,
