Default how do i get listbox selected data into table

I have a form with an unbound listbox (0) set to simple for multi select,
that I populate it from a table that contains boardmembers. the query has 2
fields the boardmemberid and a concatenated field of Boardmember:bmlastname &
" " & bmfirstname. The listbox column count is set to 2 and they are 0",1.5".

The form also has an unbound textbox (name dBdate) set to date() and a combo
box (named cboBoard) that when clicked on has 3 options: board 1, board 2,
Joint.

I would like to get the date, selected data from conbobox and selected data
from the list box to append to a table called tblBmeetings which has the
following fields.

bmeetingid(auto pk)
bmid (number(fK to bmid in tblboardmembers))
Board
BoardMember
Bdate

I would like to do this with a cmd button.

Thanks

If the field BoardMember in tblBMeetings is the calculated Boardmember field
from your combo box's rowsource query, I wouldn't have that field in the
table because it is redundant; the BMID field identifies the board member,
and the board member's name can always be derived by lookup and calculation
from the BoardMembers table. However, I'll go ahead with this as you
originally requested it.

Here's possible code for your command button, which I'm calling
"cmdAddMeeting". I'm assuming that the list box is named "lstBoardMembers".
Warning: this is totally air code:

'------ start of suggested code ------
Private Sub cmdAddMeeting_Click()

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim varItem As Variant

' Verify required information.

If Me.lstBoardMembers.ItemsSelected.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "You have to choose at least one board member!"
Me.lstBoardMembers.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
If IsNull(Me.dBdate) Then
MsgBox "You have to enter a date!"
Me.dBdate.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
If IsNull(Me.cboBoard) Then
MsgBox "You have to choose a board"
Me.cboBoard.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If

' We have what we need, so add the meeting(s).

Set db = CurrentDb

With Me.lstBoardMembers
For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected

db.Execute _
"INSERT INTO tblBmeetings " & _
"(BMID, Board, BoardMember, Bdate) " & _
"VALUES (" & _
.ItemData(varItem) & ", " & _
Chr(34) & Me.cboBoard & Chr(34) & ", " & _
Chr(34) & .Column(1, varItem) & Chr(34) & ", " & _
Format(dBdate, "\#mm\/dd\/yyyy\#") & ")", _
dbFailOnError

Next varItem
End With

End Sub
'------ end of suggested code ------

The above code assumes that BMID is a numer field, while Board and
BoardMember are text, and Bdate is a date field.

Thank you for the above code. I was not even at the point to do the
validation, was trying to get it to work-so thank you very much for
that.

The validation works fine but when I hit the submit button I get the
following error;

SynTax Error (missing operator) in query expression " Tom Slone".

Tom is the board member name. Would it have an effect if in
lstBoardmembers I am populating it in this way.

In the query I am using the tblBoardmembers. In stead of dropping
down bmlastname and bmfirstname as the fields. I have this as the row
source:

SELECT [bmlastname] & " " & [bmfirstname] AS BoardMember FROM
BoardMembers;

The bound column is 1 and column count is 1 with width set to 1.5

Again it populates fine.

Thanks for your assistance

Sorry- I AM AN IDIOT-

After I posted the oringinal request last night I was still messing
with it and forgot that I had changed the column count from 2 to 1. I
then realized that after I sent the second post and changed it back.

Your code works PERFECTLY.

Thanks so much again for adding the validation code-saved me a few
steps.
