listbox problem..i think

[baron]

im creating an address book and well it aint "quite going to plan" im having problems on the 'remove' coding

what i want it to do is when i click on the list box it loads the 'record' from a .dat file and displays it in text boxes on the right but it seems to mess up when i try deleting that "record"

it deletes the record but when i add another record that 'line' in the listbox is blank

for example if i had records 1,2,3 in the listbox and i deleted "record 2" the list box would be first line blank(but when clicked have info for record 1),1(when clicked it be blank) and record 3 would work fine

heres the code im using-

Private Sub Command1_Click()
'REMOVE!!
 
    Dim intFile As Integer, add As address
    On Error GoTo errHandler
    'If the listcount is 0, give the user an error msgbox.
    If List1.ListItems.Count = 0 Then MsgBox "There aren't any entries to delete.", vbExclamation, "Error!": Exit Sub
    intFile = FreeFile
    'Open file, andsave it.
    Open "C:\book.dat" For Random As intFile Len = Len(add
        'Set everything to null.
        add.fname = ""
        add.lname = ""
        add.address = ""
 
        'Put the information in the file.
        Put #intFile, List1.SelectedItem.Index, add
    'Close the file, when you're finished.
    Close intFile
    'Remove the selected item.
List1.ListItems.Remove (List1.SelectedItem.Index)
    Exit Sub
    
    'If there's not a selected item, give the user an error msgbox.
errHandler:
    MsgBox "Please select the name you want to delete in the listbox below.", vbExclamation, "Error!"
    Exit Sub
End Sub

Welcome to the Froum Baron

Thats not normal behaviour for a ListBox.
This works: List1.RemoveItem (List1.ListIndex)

BTW, I'm assuming your using a VBA ListBox - which app?
