>>>When ever I give the users a selection grid I simply include a boolean field and allow the user to check on/off the items they want to select. I really don't like multipick listboxes because the are "user fragile" one little misclick and they've potentially lost all of the rest of the work they've done picking items elsewhere in the list. Using a checkbox in a grid avoids this.

>>PMFJI Dave but multi-select listboxes are great because you can select several items with one click by holding down the shift key. This interface is also consistent with apps like Explorer etc.

But unfortunately I just found another problem, which I need to investigate. I found, when I switch into Edit mode, I can navigate from record to record, even if I didn't set this form to be ProcessForm. May be it's related to one particular change I made, but if not, it's a real problem in our classes :(

Nadya,

I'm not sure I fully understand why you are not using a listbox which has multi-select functionality inherently.
