Hi Steve

I noticed you are changing the second column of the list but it is the first column that controls the disabling of the item. Secondly the "\" is not actually stored in the listbox so when you check for "\" in the item it will not be found.

I was able to disable and enable a listbox item simply by doing:

Thisform.myList.List(1)="\Disabled"
Thisform.myList.List(1)="Enabled"

Or if I bound it to an array I could do the following:

Dimension gaArray(2,2)
goArray(1,1)="\D"
goArray(1,2)="Disabled"
goArray(2,1)="E"
goArray(2,2)="Enabled"
ThisForm.myList.Requery (Now the first item is disabled)

goArray(1,1)="D"
ThisForm.myList.Requery (Now the first item is enabled).

Regards,
Simon
