if your wanting it to display the current selected item in the list then
just use this

Code:

---

Form5bui_lbl.caption = spec_lst.text

---

that didnt work sorry that makes it go blank it will be in an if statement because there will be 2 frames on top of eachother for the ifs will make the frames visibleand take information input form one form to the other. i know a case statment would work better but i like ifs more
example

Code:

---

if bui_opt = true then
form5.bui_frame.visible = true
Form5.bui_lbl.Caption = spec_lst.Text
end if

---

there will be else if for the other statment for repair option

Dim W As String, i As Integer
For i = 0 To List1.ListCount - 1
  W = W + List1.List(i) + Chr$(10) + Chr$(13)
Next i
Form2.Show
Form1.Visible = False
Form2.Label1.Caption = W
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To 5: List1.AddItem "Listbox Line" + Str$(i): Next i
End Sub

thats brilliant its works now thank you mr.mac
thank you all

You're welcome. :)

I fogot to show my form2:
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Form1.Visible = True
End Sub

Necessary since otherwise Form1 runs forever, unnoticed. But I guess you know how to handle multi-form applications anyway.

i took that bit of your code out i have a simplar way to do it
form1.hide
form2.show
its a big button with a few things going on.
