I'm just flat out lost. What I need to do is get the structure, specifically cookie name to populate the list box. Than when i click on the selected item it should change the data in the labels... there is more to it but this is where I am right now. Yes it's homework but I'm also in my 30's with a good job. I'm just trying to learn this stuff so I might be able to use it in my hobbies. So please only help no snark about "do your own homework."
