Multi selection

[Cat]

Hi all,

In a list view, I want to select records but at random
then print, for example, only the selected records. I do
not want to use a temporary field, I would prefer to find
a special list view or a tool like an ActiveX perhaps.

Do you have any solutions? Thanks in advance.
Cat

Hi Cat,

You can use a multiselect listbox for this. Here are a couple of articles
that describe how to use the selected items in a listbox to form criteria
for a report or query:

If by listview, you mean a listbox, then you most certainly can do this.

If you mean a continues form, then usually the solution is to add check box
field.

In many cases, the look of a listbox is really much the same as a continues
form.

For example screen shots of continues forms, and list, take a quick look at:

For some example screen shots of using listbox to allow multiple selections,
there is some screen shots here that should give you some additional ideas:
