Well, I'm no Access whiz, but I can tell you that if you use a Lookup data
type, you certainly can enter your own list without using a recordsource or
array.  The very first step of the wizard gives you the option to "I will
type in the values I want" ... And the same goes for putting a List Box in a
form...when you insert it in Design View, again, the wizard pops up and
gives you that same choice...so I'm not sure why you are saying it's not
possible...it sure is in every install of Access that I've ever seen.

Subject: [mso] Access 2000 List Box

Hi everyone,

... especailly access people :-)

I'd like to show the status of a process ...Importing... Importing
complete... Processing records...
and so on.

In word VBA I've used a listbox for this sort of thing and just added
rows one at a time as needed.

I'm now trying the same thing in Access. Can someone confirm for me
that this isn't possible in access as the only way of putting things
in a listbox is to use some sort of recordsource or array?

If anyone has any thoughts of how to do this status thing in a
different way in Access I'd very much like to hear from you please.

Regards
Lisa
