How to get selected values from an Outlook Multiselect listbox

[Guest]

I'm using an Outlook contact form with a multiselect listbox. I'm trying to find a way in visual basic to get the values of items in the listbox that have been selected. I don't know how to reference the values in the multiselect listbox. Can anyone help me with this
Thanks

You need to check the value of the Selected property for each item in the
list.

Hi Sue, I'm still not sure how

I've defined the field in VB as follows
Dim Services As ListItems 'is the correct

My Outlook multiselect listbox field is called "Services Provided" consisting of 6 possible values
I've tried to reference "Services Provided" in VB using the following code

Services(1) = objContact.UserProperties("Services Provided").Valu

but I get a "type mismatch" error

No, as I said, you need to use the Selected property. Basic usage, from the
Help topic for that property:

For i = 0 To 9
If ListBox1.Selected(i) = True Then
ListBox2.AddItem ListBox1.List(i)
End If
Next i

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/propsyntax.htm#unbound for information on
the syntax for accessing a control on an Outlook form. You will need to
specify the page as well as the control name. Once you have the control
object, you can use:

For i = 0 to (MyListBox.ListCount -1)
If MyListBox1.Selected(i) Then
MsgBox MyListBox.List(i) & " is selected"
End If
Next
