The user selects the records in the listbox. Listbox automaticly controls which records have been selected. Then they click the delete button, and I loop through the listbox selected records and mark the real records in the real table to deleted. Same thing for undelete, except I recall the records, not delete.

Yes, because no gave me an exact solution, I pieced it together from several answers, and then gave my solution as the solution. >:)
