Is there a control in access that allows you to select multiple items from
the left side, click a button which slides the items to the right side? This
is used on the "Create query by using wizard" form if you want an example of
what I mean. Thanks.
 
Dear Mike:

There isn't a single control that does this. You accomplish this using
listboxes and command buttons and VBA code. You can download a sample of one
way to accomplish this from here:

Look for a download titled "Select Records".

Got one for you but is big code and involves few queries too if you can wait
till after 5pm(GMT) can let ya have it but take bit of time.

This is the very question I asked for yesterday but nobody replied. Yes its a
very very useful control isnt it and comes up in applications lots of times
 
There is no "native" Access Control that does this. However, a very
good implementation of this functionality is described, with code on
the accompanying disk, in Litwin et al.'s excellent Access 2002 (or
2000) Desktop Developer's Handbook. Look for the Multipik Class. This
is only one of the many reasons why I think this book should be on
every Access Developer's bookshelf (actually, mine spends more time on
my computer desk or on the floor beside it!). BTW, I have absolutely
no relationship with the authors and/or publishers of the Handbook,
other than that of an enthusiastic reader.

thanks this looks fantastic. Why dont MS provide this, I see it all the time
in lots of appliations
 
I haven't seen Arvin's version, I suspect that MS does not provide
this as a "native" control because the interface to it requires some
coding - you can't just "plug it in and go" to get useful results, as
you can with the controls they do supply.
