Thanks Shawn, I did good. Form is now new school enough to do a daddy proud.

Another Q.

Can I set $List2 ListBox so that I can scroll up and down but not select? Don't want to grey out the whole list, just don't want it to highlight an item if clicked on.

Also, I need to verify that for example, if $List1.Text = 'M-NOTES-TUE-05-31-05' and if $List2 has TM-NOTES-TUE-05-31-05 that I log to $List3, a warning and maybe bring the $list2 item into view.
