An exciting question...

Say I have a text file containing data, which I read into several arrays, one for each "field"...I populate a list box with items in the first array. I also have several text boxes on the form. When an item in the list box is clicked, how do I put the items from the other arrays (with a corresponding element number) into the text boxes?

I've done this type of thing b4 I think, do you mean like this:

Code:

---

Public Sub Form1_Load()
Dim i As Integer
i = 0
Open "data.dat" For Input As #1
Do
Input 1, strNames(i)
Input 1, strAge(i)
Input 1, strHobbies(i)
i = i + 1
Loop Until EOF(1)
End sub

Public Sub List1_Click()
Dim intNumItems As Integer
Dim intSelectedItem As Integer
intNumItems = List1.CountItems - 1
For intSelectedItem = 0 To intNumItems
If List.Selected(intSelectedItem) = True Then Exit For
Next intSelectedItem

txtAge.Text = strAge(intSelectedItem)
txtHobbies.Text = strAge(intSelectedItem)
End Sub

---

For this to work, the arrays need to be global and declared in a seperate module, and the sorted property of the list MUST be false. If you want the list sorted alphabetically then do that when you write the file in the first place.
