>>>I have a 2 column listbox populated from an array. The first column is a date and the second is a batch number. When the user double clicks on a value in the list box, I want to store the date AND the batch number to a variable. My problem is that displayvalue only gives me the first column. Is there a way to get the literal value of the second column (batch number) also.

DATE       BATCH

>>>01/02/01       A

>>>I want to be able to select any ONE of the above by double clicking on it. Right now all I can return is the date so ALL of the above with the same date match the memvar.

>>Things to remember: if your list is set to multiselect = .T. and you have more than one item selected you will get the last row selected. Also, the appropriate function needs to be used to convert to and from whatever datatype you are dealing with. The + concat operator only works for chars.

My examples on this forum are meant to start someone thinking of the many possibilities of the language. Not, do all, end all, best way examples...

For example: Would ListIndex work if you wanted to perform some other validation on the other rows in the list during the same operation?
