Is it possible, with my rather ancient copy of Visual Basic ( c 7 yrs old)
:-

to create a list box with a FIXED number of columns (greater than 1!) and
with a vertical scroll bar?

>From HELP!
--------------------------------------------------
"Items are arranged in snaking columns, filling the first column, then the
second column, and so on. The ListBox scrolls horizontally and displays the
specified number of columns"
-------------------------------------------------
if columns are set to >1 then the data entered
the number or rows is fixed by the height of the box then the 'rows' snake
horizontally!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What I am after doing is to display the contents of an array so that I can,
in effect, select/deselect them
? by using a
a 'MultiSelect > 2 extended' list box

Having the numer of columns = to that of the array
and the number of rows = to that of the array.
It needs to scroll vertically!
