I have two lists one blank and one containing names in the format of surname
and then forename.I also have a combo box containing forenames.When I

How did you build the lists? The combo and listbox both have an ItemData
property that may be of use when you are adding names. Post a small example
so we can see what you've got so far....

The easiest thing is for me to give you an example.
I have a list box (lstfullnames) a combo box (cmbforenames) and an empty
list box (lstsurnames)
In lstfullnames is the name Smith Bob. In cmbforenames is the name Bob. When
I click on Bob in the combo box in need to see if the name is in the
lstfullnames list and if it is then enter the surname (Smith) into the
lstsurname list box.

You're missing the point. You will learn more if you show us what you've
attempted so we can comment and straighten you out in your handling of the

OK here's my code so far.This works if I have both surname and forename in
the forename combo box.I don't know how to Manipulate the full name in the
list to allow me to match just the first name.
Thanks for any help.
Option Explicit
Private Sub cmbForenames_Cl ick()
Dim namestr, namestr1, namestr2, namestr3, output, value As String
Dim num, number, count As Integer
Dim flag As Boolean
Let number = lstFullNames.Li stCount
Let num = cmbForenames.Li stIndex
Let namestr = cmbForenames.Li st(num)
Let namestr = LTrim$(namestr)
Let namestr = RTrim$(namestr)
Let namestr = UCase(Left$(nam estr, 1)) + Right$(namestr, Len(namestr) -
1)
For count = 0 To number
If lstFullNames.Li st(count) = namestr Then
flag = True
End If
Next count
If flag = False Then
MsgBox ("name is not in the list")
Else
Let namestr2 = Len(namestr)
Let namestr1 = InStr(1, namestr, " ")
Let namestr3 = Left$(namestr, namestr1)
lstsurnames.Add Item (namestr3)
End If

I already asked, how are you building the lists? What you posted did not
show any names....

For the above two lines from your posted code, only 'value' is a String and
'count' an Integer... all other variables are declared as Variants. In VB,
you must specify the type of **each** variable individually.
Let number = lstFullNames.Li stCount
Let num = cmbForenames.Li stIndex
Let namestr = cmbForenames.Li st(num)
<<<etc>>>
VB does not require the use of the Let keyword to assign values to variables
or arrays. You can save yourself some typing by leaving it out.

Just for your future reference:
When you are looking for help with a problem, it often is beneficial
to work up a small demo to reproduce the problem so that others
can copy and paste the code into VB, to see it on their system.
Some questions don't need a code example (Like; Where is the Help file?)
but those that are syntax or logic related often do need a example.
Also, it often happens, that in the process of building a smaller demo
of the problem, that the answer becomes apparent, and the problem is
solved before it is even posted. It is a learning experience to break
some problem down to just the bare necessities, and if you can't solve
it then, you'll have a small demo to post for others to help find the
answer. Thats why I ask for example code, it is far easier for you to
show me the problem, than for me to guess at what you're doing,
and sometimes the answer becomes apparent just by building the demo.
Of course, another reason is because myself and other regular posters
are also on the look out for students trying to get someone to do their
homework! ;-) If the student shows their work, adding a tweek here
or there is generally enough to get through the 'problem'.

As I say I an very new to VB.
The lists are just constructed at design time.
It is my collage homework but I have reached a point where I am stuck.I can
not figure out how to search for part of a string i.e forename within a
list.I know I need to some how remove the surname form the fullname list but
don't know how.
I thing I need to use ' INSTR' to find the space then use RIGHT$ to remove
the surname but I can get this to work for each entry in the list.
I'm only looking for a pointer!
