>I have a list box with a small amount of items in it. (Usually < 5). If one of the items is already in use, I want to disable it. I vaguely remember seeing once that you can put a \ in front of the item to disable it, but how do you put it there? I don't know how to edit an item on the list.

You cannot disable items in listbox based on cursor, but you can make it for array or none (additem()). This case, you may issue:
thisform.mylist.list(3)="\"+thisform.mylist.list(3)
to disable e.g. third item.
Unfortunately, it's not over yet. Item will really look disabled, but still accessible by down/up arrows, it may force to code Listbox.InteractiveChange event to exclude such selection.
