Kerry, In your code, I do not see where you are deleteing the
item from the project list, so why should the project list be
changed? Rgds, JohnH

An aside, the above is correct - local variables are not initialized, so yes
you must always initialize them.

This code makes no sense, you are assigning a string to an existing item of
ProjectList, and then in the next line you delete that line.

Assuming Labour.ProjectList is the stringlist you wish to delete from, and
assuming the items there are in the same order as the listbox (presumably
you loaded the listbox from Labour.ProjectList) then the *only* line you
need is:

Labour.ProjectList.Delete(lbProjects.ItemIndex);
