accessing bound listbox item

[varley]

i have a databound listbox that i am populating from an Access table w/o any problems. The table only has one field in it so this is a no brainer.

My problem is in getting the selected item from the listbox. when i try this with a .SelectedItem call i get "Cast from type 'DataRowView' to type 'String' is not valid."

I was doing fine getting selected values when using a Collection. My problem just started when i Bound the listbox to a dB table.

I need a clue - Thanks - tom

Try...(no casting needed)

ListBox1.SelectedValue

Logically this should work. In fact it was my first try. That is what threw the casting error.

I just tried it and it worked, can you post your routine.
