will i think we need more detail on what you are trying to do like when someone click on the list it will select one on the other list i sthat what you are doing????????????

This could be quite a challenge. I am not suggesting I would be able to solve it but this is my understanding of it, maybe it will help others to help find a solution.

You have 2 lists list1 and list2. There are items in list1 that may not be in list2, Are there any items in list2 that are not in list 1? This could mean you need 2 summary lists, one for items in list1 and not in list2 and a summary of items in list2 and not in list1.

This would mean 2 passes, compare list1 with list2 then list2 with list1.

Anyone else have any views on the problem?

it whould be easyest with listview list not the standord one from vb . Then i think you can do it from key number or key code then you can list then like from a - z , then when some one clicks on a item in list1 see if there is a keycode of what the listitem the selected in and then select it thats whould be kinda easy i will work on it hwen i get back on sunday e-mail me at [email protected] i will make an example of that

Code:

---

for x=0 to list1.listcount-1
  for y=0 to list2.listcount-1
    if list1.list(x)=list2.list(y) then exit for
  next y
  if y<list2.listcount then list3.additem list1.list(y)
next x
