Because you suggested that I should use a different development environment, I decided to look into it. I found Xojo and MySQL. I used SQL Server for a lot of years and with work bench, I have the IDE. I went through the code for xojo and it is very much like vb, so I've set that up. I'm...

Wow, I will definitely try that. Thanks

This code really helps. Didn't know you could do that. Thanks

I really like coding and I'm pretty fast at it.

The listbox is not multiselect. I do have some that our, but this is not.

While writing this program I have discovered some new features. Back a long time ago if you wanted to programmatically select an item in a combo box you had to loop through it. Since I programmed in VB for a lot of years, and already had Access I decided to write this program for myself. I am...

What combo am I copying from? I am setting the value of combo boxes from the table. As far as Access goes, it is good for what it does. I just prefer more flexibility. I retired and Quit programming in 2010. I'm not sure what version of asp.net I was using. I used VBA with vb4- vb6 for a...

People do save information they have entered into a form, and at times they want to view what they have entered into the form. I am not copying to another table, I am filling the form with their saved record. Also, these primary forms do re-occurring scheduling. They can select any day, any...

Thanks I will try that. Looks much easier.

Is there another way to select an item in a listbox? I am filling a form with selected information.

I have finally significantly reduced screen flicker. Pat Harman suggested simplifying the design. I went through all the tables etc. and there was only one combo box that I could remove. What I did to stop the flickering was... Made sure all labels were connected with their related control...

I think you are right. I need to simplify this more. I'm going to work on it.

I tried not painting both the main form and subform, a little better but still flickers

It is complicated. I don't get much flexibility using a bound form. I will usually bind sub forms but not the main form. I can do a lot more things when coding.
