List Selection

[GB]

I am designing a contact database with a list box. What I would like to be
able to do is select a contact from the list box and then be able to click a
button to either delete or amend that contacts details. I am not sure how to
go about doing this.

Thank you to anyone who can help.

A very simple way to do this is to create an unbound form.

Add a list box where you can select a contact.

Add a subform that that shows the details of the contact.
Set the LinkMasterFields property of the subform control to the list box.

No code needed.

Thank you for your quick reply. I have tried your solution but everytime I
try and set the LinkMasterFields to the list it keeps coming up with the
error "Can't build a link between unbound forms"

I don't expect Allen wanted you to use the "builder" for this. You can just
enter the control or field names in the properties and ignore the little
[...] button.
