listbox with multiple selections

[DaveL]

I have built a listbox that allows multiple selections and I have put those
slelections into an array. At this point I want to unload the userform and
use that array in a macro outside of the userform. However, I can't find a
way to access the array I created in the userform. It appears I have to
write the selections to a worksheet, then use a macro to read and write them
into an array and then delete the worksheet in order to move on and do what I
want with an array of selected items. Is that right or am I missing
something?

Hi Dave,

Create a button on the Userform.
The code should look something like this:

Cells(2,1).Resize(ubound(YourArray,1),ubound(YourArray,2)) = YourArray

YourArray should get placed from cell A2 with the above example.
You will - of course - require a bit of error handling here.

Robert,

Thanks for the recommendation. I did what you recommended, but it still
requires taking the selceted items, putting them in a worksheet and then
writing them into another array outside the userform. i was just hoping for
a cleaner more direct route but I guess that's not possible when you are in a
userform.

You need to create a Global Variable in a Standard Module


Code:
--------------------

Public MyArray as variant

--------------------


Set the array in the userform & it willbe available when the form is
closed

rouUK,

OK, that made me look foolish. I don't know why I had it in my head that
a variable scoped as public wouldn't work with a userform. This makes it
clean and easy.
