Oops, did not check my control combos, before writing that. sorry.

I do not use list, because they want to see deleted records.
Same problem just reversed. No delete marks in listbox. :(

I have a form that I did for them with listbox, but they just came back and said that they wanted to see which records were deleted. I am trying to simulate a browser window for them, without the ability to edit the fields and give them the multi select ability.

Nothing is ever simple. :)
