I have the following code in my on double click section of a list box, this works fine but i need to ensure after the double click that the item remains unselected.

Try........

Will that not deselect everything? I only want it to deselect the one that has been double clicked on

Are you using a multiselect or single select listbox ?

If it's not multi select, you can use....

thanks alan but i am using multi select. I bet that makes things hard.lol

Sorry, you need to give me a bit more info then........

With a multi select listbox, if it's set to Extended, then the very act of double clicking will deselect all selections except the one you've double clicked. If it's set to Simple then double clicking an item that's already selected will deselect it, and double clicking an unselected item will select it............

What is it exactly you want to do ?

ok i have set the list box to multi select simple. what is supposed to happen is on double click a second form opens displaying some information, but on closing the newly opened form i want the selection i double clicked to be unselected. It is not an integral part of my DB but is a nice to have the knowledge.

Hi

The code I posted before should be what you want then, with a couple of lines switched round...........
