Don't use a reserved word like Form as a variable name.
No need to MsgBox your variable. Use the debugger.
Listboxes are readonly. If you want to update them, the procedure is
to update the underlying RowSource with an Update query, and then
requery the listbox so the changes will show.

Thanks, but don't go away- how do I update the underlying rowsource
with an update query...! (sorry)

Actually, I need to apologise- I think I may have described my problem
incorrectly- what I would like to do is requery the list box based on
the selection I make in the combo- I don't want to change any of the
underlying data itself. So for example if I choose form 'E' from the
combo then the listbox autmatically requeries to only show students in
form E. The listbox has 8 columns- name, age, form etc so I'm trying
to use the combo to filter the listbox accordingly- sorry for the
confusion. I'm still stuck though.
