I have a form that gives the user 2 choices. Based on the choice, a listbox is supposed to fill with a list of possible file choices to select...with the possibility of cancelling and going back to the initial choices.

Here is the example of the issue I encounter...
User selects Choice 1, listbox populates correctly, user cancels and then selects Choice 2...listbox populates with same list as before. :confused:

From the 1st Form/Choices there is the following...
Code:
Private Sub Something_Click()
    MyFile = Dir(MyFolder & "Something *.xlsm")
.
.
.
End Sub

Private Sub SomethingElse_Click()
    MyFile = Dir(MyFolder & "Something.Else*.xls")
.
.
.
End Sub
Then there's this code on the form with the listbox...

Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Do While MyFile <> ""
    FileListForm.ListBox1.AddItem MyFile
    MyFile = Dir
Loop
End Sub

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
The
_Initialize
event only happens the first time the userform is shown. You should use similar code in another event after clearing the listbox with …to follow

…Listbox1.Clear
viz.:
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
MyFile = Dir(myFolder & "*.xlsm")
Do While MyFile <> ""
    Me.ListBox1.AddItem MyFile
    MyFile = Dir
Loop
End Sub

Private Sub Something_Click()
MyFile = Dir(myFolder & "*.xlsm")
Me.ListBox1.Clear
Do While MyFile <> ""
    Me.ListBox1.AddItem MyFile
    MyFile = Dir
Loop
End Sub

Private Sub SomethingElse_Click()
MyFile = Dir(myFolder & "*.xls")
Me.ListBox1.Clear
Do While MyFile <> ""
    Me.ListBox1.AddItem MyFile
    MyFile = Dir
Loop
End Sub
