This is not an error. Parenthesis are optional when there are no arguments. The code works fine (you can even pull the parens off the insertrow).

The problem is that there is probably not a recordset yet. If you call getrecordset() on a list box with no contents, NULL is returned. (This is probably a bug, it should create an empty set.) Try putting something like 1=1 in the translation property of the list box and see if that fixes it. (If you want to start with an empty list, maybe try putting a space in the translation property and deleting it after the first insertion.) Note that it could also be that the list is bound to an empty table - same problem, different solution (left to the reader). Be sure to check the datatypes on the list and the items you're inserting.

As to Debbie's question 1, I dunno, but it happens to me very rarely (I'm on a Quadra). Regards,
