Try this test again but now do:

cId = "1"
.oleList.ListCargo(nItem) = cId

>Yes, I changed the code to:
>
>

>cId  = TRANSFORM(Temp1.Id)
>.oleList.ListCargo(nItem) = cId
>

>
>cId is "1"
>.oleList.ListCargo(nItem) is ""
>
>

>>>I am adding items to the list from a table:

>>>** Table Employees
>>>Id  Emp_Id  FullName

>>>1   JONES   Jack Jones
>>>2   SMITH   Steve Smith
>>>3   ROBERTS Rich Roberts

>>>
>>>My code:

>>>SCAN
>>>
>>>  nItem = nItem + 1
>>>
>>>  cListItem = Temp1.Emp_Id + CHR(10) + Temp1.FullName

>>>The problem is the ListCargo collection. I'm trying to store the record id

>>>The help for it states:
>>>"Specifies a non-visible text value for the list item. This property is used to attach

>>>If I directly set it as in

>>Kevin, did you manually check result of TRANSFORM(Temp1.Id) and value of Temp1.Id to make sure that is ok?
