Thank you both! That was embarassingly easy! I don't know why I've never seen that Clear() method before.

Anyhow, thanks tons!

>>I have a listbox set as follows:
>>

>>.RowSourceType = 1
>>.RowSource = "accountant,programmer"
>>

>>
>>I allow the user to pop up a dialog where multiple items can be selected. The items that are shown in the listbox are initially selected. When the user is done selecting/deselecting items from the dialog box, the item list is returned as a comma separated string. This string is used to re-populate the listbox.
>>
>>The problem is when the user deselects all items in the dialog, the string returned is empty but the listbox won't "empty" its contents. In other words, when I replace .RowSource with "", it just leaves whatever was originally displayed.
>>
>>My code looks like this:
>>

>>do form frmMultiList with [Ministries],[Available Ministries],[minlook.ministry],m.newmin to m.newmin
>>
>>this.lstMinistries.RowSource = m.newmin
>>this.lstMinistries.Refresh
>>

>>
>>So, if the listbox is originally showing "accountant,programmer" and the user uses the dialog to return "secretary,painter" to m.newmin, then everything works great. The listbox shows secretary and painter in the list.
>>
>>But, if the user uses the dialog to return "" to m.newmin, the listbox continues to show "accountant,programmer".
>>
>>How do I get the listbox to display the empty value ... or no list?
