Hi,
Can I do multiple selection from a list. What I want to achieve is this, I
have a list of items which users would select. I would have either check box
or radio buttom beside each items so that user would just check the items
they want and this will be printed out on a report and display on a enquiry
form.

You can put as many Radio Buttons or Checkboxes as you want on a form (up to the internal limit, that is) and use that
to build your report.
You can't, have a Listbox that shows checkboxes or radiobuttons, however. A Listbox does allow Multiple selections, but
it simply highlights each line that's selected ...

You can use VBA code from a Multiselect listbox. HEre's some sample code that
you'll need to adapt.
Private Sub cmdProcess_Click()
' Comments : Update the AnimalCondition table based on the selections in
' the unbound multiselect listbox lstHealthIssues.
' Newly selected rows will be added to the table, newly
cleared
' rows will be deleted.
' Parameters: None
' Modified : 01/29/02 by JWV
'
' --------------------------------------------------
' Populate the AnimalCondition table with the selected issues
On Error GoTo PROC_ERR
Dim iItem As Integer
Dim lngCondition As Long
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
' save the current record if it's not saved
If Me.Dirty = True Then
Me.Dirty = False
End If
Set db = CurrentDb
' Open a Recordset based on the table
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("AnimalCondition", dbOpenDynaset)
With Me!lstHealthIssues
' Loop through all rows in the Listbox
For iItem = 0 To .ListCount - 1
lngCondition = .Column(0, iItem)
' Determine whether this AnimalID-HealthID combination is
currently
' in the table
rs.FindFirst "[AnimalID] = " & Me.AnimalID & " AND " _
& "[HealthIssueID] = " & lngCondition
If rs.NoMatch Then ' this item has not been added
If .Selected(iItem) Then
' add it
rs.AddNew
rs!AnimalID = Me.AnimalID
rs!HealthIssueID = lngCondition
rs.Update
End If ' if it wasn't selected, ignore it
Else
If Not .Selected(iItem) Then
' delete this record if it's been deselected
rs.Delete
End If ' if it was selected, leave it alone
End If
Next iItem
End With
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
Me.subAnimalCondition.Requery
PROC_EXIT:
Exit Sub
PROC_ERR:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & " in cmdProcess_Click:" _
& vbCrLf & Err.Description
Resume PROC_EXIT
End Sub
