Add item to listbox from a popup form

[SidneySquirrel]

I am trying to populate data into a listbox using VBA from a popup form.

The main form holds the listbox and the button that opens the second form. I want the user to be able to enter an address into the second form. When the user clicks the close button on the second form, I want to add the data into a new row in the mainforms listbox without writing the data to a table at this stage (this is done later on the collection of other data).

I can not get my references correct in the code of the second form to populate the data into the listbox on the first form.

Any help offered will be appreciated.

Thanks

Assuming your 1st Form is named Form1, contains a List Box named List1, your 2nd Form is named Form2, the 2nd Form contains a Text Box named txtValue which contains the Value to be added to the List Box on Form1, Form1 opens Form2 and remains Open, then, in the Close() Event of Form2:

Private Sub Form_Close()
Dim lst As ListBox
 
Set lst = Forms!Form1![List1]
 
If Not IsNull(Me![txtValue]) Then
  lst.AddItem Me![txtValue]
  lst.Requery
End If
End Sub

Note that for ADezii's code to work the RowSourceType has to be set to "Value List." Also, this method is only available in post Access2000 versions. In v2000 and earlier versions AddItem was used to add items to Menus, I believe.

Excellent point by Linq. If you are working in an earlier Version (AddItem not supported), and the RowSourceType of the Value List is Value List, then:

Private Sub Form_Close()
Dim lst As ListBox
 
Set lst = Forms!Form1![List1]
 
If Not IsNull(Me![txtValue]) Then
  lst.RowSource = lst.RowSource & ";" & Me![txtValue]
  lst.Requery
End If

Thank you ADezii and missingling for your replies. It has worked perfectly.
