I have a form with three listboxes, wherein the user can select only one value to go to the appropriate form.

listbox1 - lists records marked 'new'
listbox2 - lists records marked 'active'
listbox3 - lists records marked 'resolved'

each listbox has 4 columns (though column 1 width is 0")
ID, CustID, Date, Record_Type

how do i fetch the value of the selected record?

I made a button to pop up a message to see what values were being passed.

Private Sub cmdTest_Click()
Dim varTest As String
'varTest = Me.listbox2
varTest = listbox2.Value
MsgBox ("Selected:" & varTest), vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "Kilroy Was here"
End Sub

It gives me only the date of the selected record (the first visible column).

So:
If I wanted to get the 'ID' (column1) and 'Record_Type' (column4) values of the selected coulmn and pass them to my variable, how would I do that?

AND: is there a way to get the value for the active selection without specifying which list box it appears in - since im only allowing one selected value on the page.

Thanks!

Private Sub CmdTest_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
MsgBox Me.ActiveControl.Column(0) & " " & Me.ActiveControl.Column(3)
End Sub

But oops... clicking CmdTest turns it to be Current Active Control.
