Nancy,

Yes, you can. I just foiund that AddListItem is a more dependable method to use for a few reasons.

1) ItemIds don't change as items are sorted or moved in teh list so the Id you give an itme stays with it.

2) AddListItem can add all columns in the same syntax.

3) The NewItemId property gives you the last ItemID used and it is very easy to simply increment its value to add a new item.

4) You can easily change the values for an item by using the ItemId in assigning the values. If there is already and ItemId of 10 and you AddListItem("Whatever",10,1) you have changed the existing item to a new value.

So, I just decided to retire AddItem() to the "Gee, that's nice" area of my brain and always use AddListItem().
