Listview probs

Im really struggling with these listviews. Can anyone tell me why the compiler objects to me using the & to concatenate string together on the SET command?
eg.

Dim ItemX as ListItem

Set ItemX = "(" & Tracks.ListItems.Add(, , HFileList.ListItems(FileListRowno).SubItems(2)) & ")"

if I remove the quoted brackets and the ampersands just leaving the listview reference it works fine. But how do I add an item that lets say...Ive prefixed with an "A"? It doesnt seem possible.

Does the SET command not allow the same functionality as strings where you can do S= A & B

regards

If i understand you correctly, then you're going about it the wrong way. Are you meaning you want this?

VB Code:

Dim ItemX As ListItem
 
Set ItemX = Tracks.ListItems.Add(, , "A" & HFileList.ListItems(FileListRowno).SubItems(2))
