multi select control not in my control toolbox

[GolfGal]

I had a multi select list box in a 2003 OL form. I want to have a similar
one in my new 2007 OL form, however there is no multi select control listed
in my control toolbox under custom controls. Where can I find this?

The control is just called "ListBox" - it is the one beside the ComboBox in
the Toolbox. Just set the MultiSelect property to Multi or Extended.

After some trial and error, it appears I can use this on a form, but not in a
form region? Is that correct?

Correct. Always use the controls listed as "Microsoft Office Outlook
<control name>" in the Additional Controls dialog. The default ones, from
the Microsoft Forms 2.0 controls collection, do not change color and
appearance based on the user's Windows theme. The tooltips for the new Form
Region controls are prefixed with Olk in the Toolbox.

Correction: Forms 2.0 controls do get themed automatically in Form Regions.
Regular custom forms do not get themed at all.
