DM: Strangely, I never use that method. I don't know why I did for this post. I use AddItem, although I don't consider it more elegant, I just prefer it.

A problem with this:

Me.lbxSide.List = rSides.Value

is that if you only have one cell in the "Sides" range, you get the "Could not set the List property. Invalid property array index" error.

That's because the .list property expects a variant array, which you don't get when the range evaluates to only one item.

I guess you have to check the size of "Sides" first. Anyone know a more elegant solution to this?

"You can set up a situation where they don't match, but it takes a bit of extra programming."

I need to do it so they don't match, could you possible provide an example or explain how to do that?

Thanks for your info
