Hello Dragan.

You took my say :). And for the GETWORDNUM( This.RowSource, 2, '.' ) (with a period, not the comma) we may also use JUSTEXT(This.RowSource) - no need for Alltrim.

Hmmmm. What if you have the RowSOurce specified as "MyTable.MyField, Field2" ? This code in the list box's init():

messagebox( JUSTEXT(This.RowSource) )

Gives you "MyField, Field2". Probably not exactly what you have in mind unless, of course, you intend to use GETWORDNUM() to extract the fields from THIS string < s >.

You are, however, correct about the fact that the ALLTRIM is superfluous < s >.
