unable to loop thru records

[doncee]

Using a multi select list box to open several records in a
pre - defined form. Most of the code that follows is taken
from a posting by Alan Browne on his web site. The click
routine is supposed to loop thru all of the reports, or in
this case records, selected in the list box & display them
for previewing or editing. In my situation it only displays 1
record in the form & does not perform the necessary loop.
Have tried futzing with it but getting no where fast.
Hoping someone can direct me to a solution. Below is the onclick() vb code:
Private Sub Command5_Click( )
On Error GoTo Err_Handler

Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strWhere As String
Dim strDescrip As String
Dim lngLen As Long
Dim strDelim As String
Dim strDoc As String
strDoc = "EditClipFr m"
With Me.List12
For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected
If Not IsNull(varItem) Then

strWhere = strWhere & strDelim & .ItemData(varIt em) & strDelim & ","

strDescrip = strDescrip & """" & .Column(1, varItem) & """, "

End If

Next

End With
lngLen = Len(strWhere) - 1
If lngLen > 0 Then
strWhere = "[ID] IN (" & Left$(strWhere, lngLen) & ")"
lngLen = Len(strDescrip) - 2
If lngLen > 0 Then
strDescrip = "clipname: " & Left$(strDescri p, lngLen)
End If
End If

DoCmd.OpenForm strDoc, acNormal, WhereCondition: =strWhere

Exit_Handler:
Exit Sub

Err_Handler:
If Err.NUMBER <> 2501 Then
MsgBox "Error " & Err.NUMBER & " - " & Err.Description , , "cmdPreview_Cli ck"
End If
Resume Exit_Handler
End Sub

Thanks as always for any advice on this

Thanks for the reply, however I am still getting the same results. The form
opens but only for 1 of the highlited records. I am hoping to open as many
instances of the form as lines I have highlited in the listbox. If I have 4
lines highlited then I would like those 4 records opened in the selected
form. Does this make sense?? Thanks again for your reply.

The OpenForm code you used will open only one instance of the form with a
recordset of X records, equal to the number of items selected.
If you are sure that the WhereCondition returns more than one record, you
need a way to navigate through the the recordset, either custom controls or
the native navigation buttons.

Your form will open filtered to the records in your list. you
must use the navigation buttons at the bottom of the form to
move between each record, or redesign the form to show multiple
records.

As Bob said, you might need to set the navigation buttons on. If you
want you could pass an argument to the form if you don't want nav
buttons in certain conditions.
DoCmd.OpenForm strDoc, , , strWhere, , , "Test"

Then in the OnOpen event enter something like
Me.NavigationBu ttons = (Me.OpenArgs = "Test")
Me.AllowAdditio ns = Not (Me.OpenArgs = "Test")

If this is not the situation, then add the following code
msgbox strWhere
prior to opening the form. The code you provided us looks OK...not sure
what strDescrip is...but you should be getting a multiple record list.

Thanks to all who replied. Yes, in fact I do have the filtered
records that I was trying to produce, but I was unknowingly
canceling the form before cycling thru the records. It is clear
now what is happening. Thanks again for all of your help.
