>>The AddItem method really adds an entire row to the list. If the list has multiple columns and you use this syntax to add items to each column, the result is not what you would expect. When using the AddItem method to populate a combo or list, add the new item to the first column of each row using the syntax Control.AddItem( 'MyNewValue' ). Assign values to the remaining columns in that row using the syntax Control.List[Control.NewIndex, nColumn] = 'MyOtherNewValue'. The AddListItem method, however, does work as advertised.
