Hi,

Looking for some VBA help, this is probably very simple (hopefully :)).

I have a form that allows user to select a worksheet from the current workbook using a combobox, the listbox will then display the contents of the selected worksheets header row (where row 1 is always the header). The listbox uses the following settings

Code:
           .ListStyle = fmListStyleOption
           .MultiSelect = fmMultiSelectMulti

Then within the listbox the user selects a number of columns from the chosen worksheet. I would like the columns selected in the listbox to also be selected in the worksheet. Ultimately I will be concatenating the data in the selected columns and looping through the worksheet looking for duplicates.

Here is the code I use to select the slected list box items, I need help in selecting the worksheet columns as a multi column range.

Code:
Private Sub btGetFields_Click()
Dim iCtr As Long
Dim strSearch As String
 
strSearch = ""
 
With Me.lbxColumns
For iCtr = 1 To .ListCount - 1
 
If .Selected(iCtr) Then
 
[COLOR=red]' CODE REQUIRED HERE TO SELECT COLUMNS WHERE[B] .List(iCtr) = COLUMN HEADER[/B][/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]' EACH TIME THE PROCEDURE LOOPS AN ADDITIONAL COLUMN WILL BE SELECTED[/COLOR]
 
End If

Next iCtr
 
End With
End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

James
