It doesnt go back to the selected one when i open it

[Scottie1972]

you have to connect the ListBox with the Setting
Form_Load Event
ListBox1.Selected= my.settings.SETTINGNAME
something like that

[Scottie1972]

look post your script so that we can see what you are trying to do.
It will give us a better idea of what is going on.
