Yes, I have tried to do what you suggest but for me I had the following
problems.

The item selected (highlighted) in the listbox did not want to automatically
follow the record being moved say toward the top of the list and the control
appears to have no method to allow the programmer to select/highlight a
record in the list.

Also, I found it difficult to cleanly change the value being used to sort
the recordset.  It is easy enough to say decrement the value of the current
selected record but then you have to find the record of now the same value
and increment it.  This should be the prior record - when you code this to
me it looks clumsy and as I indicated the selected/highlighted record does
not move up in the list.  It seems to stay on the same record position in
the list ie if the third record is selected/highlighted then when it
supposed to move to position two in the list (it does) but the record now at
position three in the list is selected/highlighted.

I hope this makes sense, thanks for the response.
