Michelle,

If the item list is that small I'd use an array property to hold the items. YOu can change them at will and lst.Requery(). Although disabled items in a listbox are somewhat problematic because they can be selected via the keyboard. But you can code around this.

I prefer to not have unselectable things show up in a selection list.

>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.
