The Listbox is a message box that replays messages to all users that use the database.
Messages are displayed on current date and may from time to time have duplicate entries. Unless you can think of another way to do this.

I don't think you're understanding my point.

Long memo fields (i.e. messages to users) are not something you put in a listbox or combobox. Listboxes and comboboxes are used for people to select a UNIQUE and SHORT phrase. When that happens, you can then make the form do something like look up a large memo field and display its contents. But you don't put the entire memo field's contents in a listbox/combobox.
