But I want to update by getting the table record first, then finding the listbox itemid. If I know otemp.coll_seq (the old sequence number) how do i find the corresponding itemid in the listbox? I do not know the syntax.

Not a bother :)
OK, let me ask you a couple of questions before I answer again, as I think I have confused the issue.

1) Is the ItemID the unique identifier for the row? (primary key, e.g.)
2) If not, what is?

NewItemID gets the item id of the last item added to the list.
In my example it allows you add 3 columns without needing to know the actual item id.
this.AddItem("Hello") && adds an item
this.AddListItem("World", this.NewItemID, 2) && adds a new 2nd column to the most recently added item
