Re: Cannot multiselect programmatically?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I am just using the semicolon to separate the items in the list (and to end
the list), I could have used a comma but that character actually appears in
a few of the list items. I was using rowsourcetype = 6 and the
thisform.l_cListing was used to hold the subset of the whole list that I
wanted to have preselected automatically.
