I have a project that i am required to use databases for. I have a listbox which loads the contact names from the database. I then have a edit contact button and i want to be able to search the name of the contact against the database and display the information in a separate form which could then be edited. I have tried a method using selecteditem from the list box but couldnt get it to work, any ideas?

NEW PROBLEM

So for my database i have a search option that i am using SQL queries for. What would the code be so that i could have a search which uses the selected item of a list box?

I am having a problem because the text boxes i want to fill are private on the other form so you cant add the information in with code from the main form, if that makes sense.

Decided to just have the editing etc all on the same form just because its easier, i would still like to know how its done for future use but there is no rush in getting back to me, thanks (im sure its a super easy fix haha)
