Adding subitems to a listview

[venerable bede]

I am not to familiar with VB 6 so forgive
.
I am using the following to add a second column :

 Set item = listView.ListItems.Add(, , "AAA")
item.SubItems(1) = "BBB"

But the second line keeps giving me "Invalid property value".

Any ideas what I am doing wrong ?

TIA

When in doubt, Read That Fine Manual:

    With ListView1
        With .ColumnHeaders
            'Since we want subitems, we must "add headers" for the number
            'of columns we want.  SubItems is a pseudo-array-like collection
            'property, not actually an array.  Quoting the manual:
            '
            '   "You cannot add elements directly to the subitems array. Use
            '   the Add method of the ColumnHeaders collection to add subitems."
            .Add
            .Add
        End With
        With .ListItems.Add(, , "AAA")
            .SubItems(1) = "BBB" 'Success!
        End With
    End With
