Remebering...

Hey can I get it so when a person adds an entry into a listbox, then closes the program then opens it again, the entry will still be there?

[Hack]

Write the entry to the listbox, and the machines registry, at the same time.

When the program opens, populate your listbox, and read the registry entries, and make the appropriate setting.

Are you familiar with SaveSetting and GetSetting? If not, I can provide you with examples.

Another option would be to write the entry to the listbox, and a local Db table, at the same time.

Nope not familiar with those.

You could use the registry, but Microsoft recommends not using it for these types of purposes. The easiest way to do what you as is to simply write your data to a file (choose your extension) and then re-read the data when you project reopens. Something like this:

'=============================
' Reload your list
'=============================
Private Sub Form_Load()
 
   Dim FF as long
   Dim sData as String
   
   if Len(Trim$(DIR$(App.Path & "\list.dat")))<>0 then
       List1.Clear  
       FF = FreeFile
       Open App.Path & "\list.dat" for Input As FF
           Do while not EOF(FF)
                Line Input #FF, sData
                list1.Add sData
           Loop
        Close FF
    End if 
 
End Sub  
 
'===================================
' Save the List on Unload
'===================================
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
   Dim FF as long
   Dim sData as string
   Dim x as long
 
   if Len(Trim$(Dir$(App.Path & "\list.dat")))<>0 then
      Kill App.Path & "\list.dat"
   end if
 
   FF = FreeFile
 
   Open App.Path & "\list.dat" for Binary as FF
    
   For x = 0   to (List1.listcount -1)
        sData = List1.list(x) & vbCRLF
        Put #FF, , sData
   Next
 
   Close FF
 
End Sub

Then you could always store the information in a database....
