VB Code:

Dim ListArray() As String 'in the genereal declerations section of the form...this is above all other code
 
'Then in the click event add the items
Private Sub Command1_Click()
ReDim ListArray(0) As String 'Create the array
 
 
ReDim Preserve ListArray(UBound(ListArray) + 1)'Add a new element to the array
ListArray(UBound(ListArray)) = "First Item" 'fill that new element with a string
ReDim Preserve ListArray(UBound(ListArray) + 1)
ListArray(UBound(ListArray)) = "Second Item"
ReDim Preserve ListArray(UBound(ListArray) + 1)
ListArray(UBound(ListArray)) = "Third Item"
ReDim Preserve ListArray(UBound(ListArray) + 1)
ListArray(UBound(ListArray)) = "Fourth Item"
ReDim Preserve ListArray(UBound(ListArray) + 1)
ListArray(UBound(ListArray)) = "Fith Item"
ReDim Preserve ListArray(UBound(ListArray) + 1)
ListArray(UBound(ListArray)) = "Sixth Item"
 
 
For i = 1 To UBound(ListArray) 'loop thru the arrray and add the items to the listbox.
List1.AddItem (ListArray(i))
Next
End Sub

Oh wow ok thx very much bro so this:For i = 1 To UBound(ListArray) 'loop thru the arrray and add the items to the listbox.
List1.AddItem (ListArray(i))
Nextthat goes into a command button of where I want to add the items to list1 and then:Private Sub Command1_Click()
ReDim ListArray(0) As String 'Create the array


ReDim Preserve ListArray(UBound(ListArray) + 1)'Add a new element to the array
ListArray(UBound(ListArray)) = "First Item" 'fill that new element with a string
ReDim Preserve ListArray(UBound(ListArray) + 1)
ListArray(UBound(ListArray)) = "Second Item"
ReDim Preserve ListArray(UBound(ListArray) + 1)
ListArray(UBound(ListArray)) = "Third Item"
ReDim Preserve ListArray(UBound(ListArray) + 1)
ListArray(UBound(ListArray)) = "Fourth Item"
ReDim Preserve ListArray(UBound(ListArray) + 1)
ListArray(UBound(ListArray)) = "Fith Item"
ReDim Preserve ListArray(UBound(ListArray) + 1)
ListArray(UBound(ListArray)) = "Sixth Item"

then does that go in a comamnd button to laod an array?Thx for the help bro :)

O damn sorry I got it im very stupid and that worked really good!!!So thx very much but in 1 command button I want to load a txt file and have it in an array...So just like what u did but be able to load a file from your computer and have it in there(array) then click the comamnd button and add them all to your lsit box...So could u help me out ehre plz?Thx man I aprpeciate it :)

Well to put a txt file into an array i would use the Split function.
Input the txt file and store its contents in a Variable, then use the Split function to break it into peices and put it in an array. You need to decide how you want to split it up... You want to split it everywhere there is a Space, or a period, or the letter i... it's up to you. THat is what is called Delimiter.

VB Code:

Dim MyArray() as string 'Create the array
MyArray = Split(MyString,"The Delimiter") 'As i said before the Delimter could be anything from a space " ", to a whole sentence "A sentence".
 
'Now you have an Array called MyArray
 
'To loop thru this array and add it to a listbox you do the same i showed you before.
 
For i = 0 to Ubound(MyArray)
List1.additem(MYarray(i))
Next
