    Well besides the name which would obviously need to be changed, the problem with newbie users, is that they don't know what's newbie and what isn't.

    They might think making another listbox scroll when you scroll the first is easy.
    Its not. It requires subclassing.

    But at the same time they might think that grabbing files from the web is difficult.
    Its not. It just requires the browser control or the internet transfer controls.


    So that's an inherent problem with a newbie forum in my opinion...

    No it doesn't.

    Yeah it does. You can select things from one and make the same item be selected in the other, but to make them both scroll at the same time does need subclassing

    2.  
    3.     List2.TopIndex = List1.TopIndex

    4.     

    5. End Sub

    I'd agree with the above, the general Q&A is where all the newbies post & should be kept like that!
