Well Brown since you seem to know your ListView pretty well, can you tell me why my SubItems won't Add??

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim LvItem As New ListViewItem
        Dim int1, int2, ans As Integer
 
        For int1 = 1 To 12
            For int2 = 1 To 12
' Works fine!
                LvItem = lstTable.Items.Add(int1.ToString)
' Doesn't Work
                LvItem.SubItems.Add = ("X")
' Doesn't Work
                LvItem.SubItems.Add = (int2.ToString)
' Doesn't Work
                LvItem.SubItems.Add = ("=")
' Works fine!
                ans = int1 * int2
' Doesn't Work
                LvItem.SubItems.Add = (ans.ToString)
            Next
        Next
 
    End Sub

There are a couple of problems with your code.
First you are trying to add subitems to an item that was creaetd from a listview with predefined column headers so your subitems already exist.
Second you are trying to assign a string to an object reference that expects a subitem object.

try this:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim LvItem As New ListViewItem
        Dim int1, int2, ans As Integer
 
        For int1 = 1 To 12
            LvItem = lstTable.Items.Add(int1.ToString)
            For int2 = 1 To 12
                LvItem.SubItems(1).Text = ("X")
                LvItem.SubItems(2).Text = (int2.ToString)
                LvItem.SubItems(3).Text = ("=")
                ans = int1 * int2
                LvItem.SubItems(4).Text = (ans.ToString)
            Next
        Next
    End Sub
