If the contents of the two listboxes are identical, you could make them go "in sync" by putting List2.ListIndex = List1.ListIndex in List1's click handler for example. Then it's not too hard to remove items from both lists.

As for chat programs, there are plenty of sample projects and tutorials out there to get you started.

Yes but its different words and stuff i.e.< list1=hello list2=world how i g\hihiglight both to delete

Well as long of the position of each pair in their lists is the same, that code would work. But if they're in different orders and are different and non-unique items... what are you trying to do anyway?

I need 2 list boxes one for admin name and the other for admin password. Then I have a command button captioned Delete Admin. I want it to when i Highlight some thing in the first list box it will also highlight the word directly across from it in Listbox2, than when i click Remove Admin it will delete what i have highlighted instead of the first words in the list box and they do by default. any help is appreciated. Thank You

Rory

Well to keep them in sync,
List2.ListIndex = List1.ListIndex on the onclick / selection change event of List1
List1.ListIndex = List2.ListIndex on the onclick / selection change event of List2

then on remove admin button click:
List2.Remove(List1.ListIndex)
List1.Remove(List1.ListIndex)
