I have a form with a list box and the following code which populates the list

Code:
With GroupListBox    .AddItem "HMP Low Moss"
    .AddItem "HMP Barlinnie"
    .AddItem "HMP Greenock"
    .AddItem "HMP Edinburgh"

This only populates the items, it doesn't select an item. I need a piece of code which prompts the user to make a selection before the form is submitted.

I have this code so far but it doesn't work:

Code:
If GroupListBox.Value = False ThenMsgBox "Please add in Location", vbExclamation
  Exit Sub
End If

Any advice welcomed,
Lee
 

Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Is your listbox single or multi select?

In that case try
Code:
If GroupListBox.Value = "" Then
   MsgBox "Please add in Location", vbExclamation
   Exit Sub
End If

Code:
Private Sub OkButton_Click()       
Dim emptyRow As Long
emptyRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1


If NameTextBox.Value = "" Then
MsgBox "Please add in Name", vbExclamation
  Exit Sub
End If


If GroupListBox.Value = "" Then
   MsgBox "Please add in Location", vbExclamation
   Exit Sub
End If


If SessionsBox.Value = "" Then
MsgBox "Please add in Session Date", vbExclamation
  Exit Sub
End If


If DOBTextBox.Value = "" Then
MsgBox "Please add in DOB", vbExclamation
  Exit Sub
End If


If CommentsTextBox.Value = "" Then
MsgBox "Please add in Comments", vbExclamation
  Exit Sub
End If

That didnt work - the above code is where I've placed it in the Sub

If you want to check if something has been selected in a single select listbox check the ListIndex property, if it's -1 nothing has been selected.
Code:
If GroupListBox.ListIndex = -1 Then
   MsgBox "Please add in Location", vbExclamation
   Exit Sub
End If
