    I had this code to get the width of the text of an item in a listbox.

    Form1.TextWidth(List1.List(0))

    This worked for VB5 but not VBA. How can I get this width with VBA?

    Regards - Nathan

    Thanks Guys, It seems there is no easy way. I need to get the width of the longest item in the listbox so I can set the columnwidths property so my scrollbar is the correct length. My work around is to create the text item in word, set the font to be the same as the listbox and use the word textwidth property. Regards - Nathan

    Use a For loop to visit each item in the list and keep a variable holding the length of the longest item.
