listbox question

[d9pierce]

Hi all,
Is there a way to add an Asterisk "*" after a txt in a list box
automatically weather it be through check box or just first selected
from a different form?

My form I have a cbo that lets me choose a primary company type. This
company may also be other company types which will fill a listbox. I
would like the listbox to show an * in front of or behind the primary
type. Dont know if possible but would like a suggestion if possible!
Thanks

I don't understand what do you want to do.

Are you trying to update the data in a field to show an Asterisk?

What is the purpose of the Asterisk?

Are you trying to identify if a company is a member to two types?

Hi and sorry for short discription!

What I am trying to do is:
I have a form where I select from a cbo a primary company type weather
it be client, subcontractor, mall.... Some of the companies I have are
mutipul types such as a mall could also be a client and so forth. On
other forms in my program, these add to my company types when the
primary company type is not the same as the cbo on the form basically
behind a Not in List function and dialog form for adding these.
Basically if I type in a client from a combo and it is not in the
list, it opens a dialog and lets me know if this company exist in a
different type and then allows me to add it to that type. This is done
for reasons not to show 100,000 records in each combo box and for
searching functions. If this company doesnt show up in my say
"Clients" type, but exist in my "Mall" type, I have the option of
adding it to clients also. So when you search for clients, it will
show up, when you search for mall, it will also show up and only store
one record of company.

On my main companies form, I have a list box which lists these company
types and I would like to add an astrisk to the end or begining of the
primary company type the current record is showing. So if one company
has two or more types, and the primary type was Mall, then it would
look like this in my listbox:

Client
Mall *
Subcontractor

I dont know if this is possible? When a company is added, the cbo
selected is the primary type and that would be the one with the
astrisk. I really havent seen this done anywhere so if anyone knows if
it could be done or how to do it I would love some feedback.

Thanks,
Dave
