Just can't seem to solve this so hoping someone can point out my stupidity.
 
Basic Scenario:
1. Have Form 1 with List box
2. Click Add button on Form 1 to load Form 2 and sync a list box on Form 2
with same list items as in Form 1 list box.
3. After Editing list, click OK on Form 2 to pass Form 2 list items back to
Form 1 list box.
- Have multiple list boxes on Form 1 (with a concommittant Add button) that
all use the same Form 2 for editing as per 1 to 3 above.
 
Code works no problem, can pass back and forth between Form 1 and Form 2
listboxes.
 
Problem is:
1. Add list values using above method to first listbox on Form 1. So far so
good.
2. Add list values using above method to second listbox on Form 1. So far so
good.
3. Attempt to re-edit first listbox on Form 1 and the values from the second
listbox on Form 1 still appear in Form 2 listbox. Not good.
4. Cancel Form 2 (which unloads form) and then attempt step 3 again. Now the
correct list values (ie. from first listbox on Form 1) load into Form 2
listbox.
 
This suggests to me that Form 2 is not correctly unloading after passing
values back to Form 1 (on click OK). But buggered if i know why as Form 2 is
instructed to unload on the OK click event, just as it is on the Cancel
click event.
 
Sure would appreciate someone giving me a clue.
 
OR Is there a better way for me to inform Form 2 about which list box in
Form 1 i am referring to. Can't seem to just pass the relevant Form 1 list
box object directly to the Form 2 Userform_Initialize sub.
 
 
Hope this makes sense.
 
Cheers

Here is the code:
 
''++++++++++Form 1 (frmWizard)++++++++++
'Private Sub cmbSecurity1_1_Click()
 
    ''lstSecurityRequirement is Public Variable dim'd as Object used to pass
to Form 2 which listbox on Form 1 i am referring to
    ''lstFacilitySecurity0 is actual list name in Form 1
   Set frmWizard.lstSecurityRequirement = frmWizard.lstFacilitySecurity0
 
    frmSecurityEdit.Show  'Display Security Edit dialog
    frmSecurityEdit.lstAllSecurityValues.List =
frmWizard.lstSecurityRequirement.List 'Sync lists
'End Sub
 
'Private Sub cmbSecurity1_2_Click()
 
   ''lstSecurityRequirement is Public Variable dim'd as Object used to pass
to Form 2 which listbox on Form 1 i am referring to
    ''lstFacilitySecurity1 is actual list name in Form 1
   Set frmWixard.lstSecurityRequirement = frmWizard.lstFacilitySecurity1
 
    frmSecurityEdit.Show  'Display Security Edit dialog
    frmSecurityEdit.lstAllSecurityValues.List =
frmWizard.lstSecurityRequirement.List 'Sync lists
'End Sub
 
 
'++++++++++Form 2 (frmSecurityEdit)+++++++++++
'Sub UserForm_Initialize()
''No code
'End Sub
 
'Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
 
    'Synchronise Security list values with Edit List Values
    frmWizard.lstSecurityRequirement.List =
frmSecurityEdit.lstAllSecurityValues.List
    
    frmSecurityEdit.Hide
    Unload frmSecurityEdit
'End Sub
 
 
'Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()
    frmSecurityEdit.Hide
    Unload frmSecurityEdit
'End Sub
