Simple vs. Extended Multi Select List Box

[Nanette]

I've looked in several places and can't find the definition of a Simple
Multi-select list box versus a extended multi-select list box.

Anyone know where I can find this info?

(Don't worry if you're not using Access 2003: it's the same in all versions)

Copied from VBA Help from MultiSelect property:

The MultiSelect property uses the following settings.

Setting Visual Basic Description
None 0 (Default) Multiple selection isn't allowed.
Simple 1 Multiple items are selected or deselected by clicking them with the
mouse or pressing the SPACEBAR.
Extended 2 Multiple items are selected by holding down SHIFT and clicking
them with the mouse or by holding down SHIFT and pressing an arrow key to
extend the selection from the previously selected item to the current item.
You can also select items by dragging with the mouse. Holding down CTRL and
clicking an item selects or deselects that item.
