Listbox.List(i) error - Method or Data Member not Found - vba

Question

I'm trying to use a multi-select listbox so users can select cleaning tasks they have completed and mark them as done. While looping through the list I want to see if the item is selected and create a record if so. When I try to use the .List method to return the data from a specific row, I keep getting the method not found error.
I originally did not have the forms 2.0 library loaded so I thought that was the issue, but that did not resolve the problem. I've also compacted and repaired thinking it might just be an odd fluke, but that did not help either.
'loop through values in listbox since its a multi-select
For i = 0 To listCleaningTasks.ListCount - 1
If listCleaningTasks.Selected(i) Then
'add entry to cleaning log
Set rsCleaning = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM cleaning_log;")
With rsCleaning
.AddNew
.Fields("cleaning_task_id") = Form_frmCleaning.listCleaningTasks.List(i)
.Fields("employee_id") = Me.cmbUser
.Fields("cleanroom_id") = Me.cmbCleanroom
.Fields("cleaning_time") = Now()
.Update
.Close
End With
End If
Next i
Any ideas?

Use .listCleaningTasks.ItemData(r) to pull bound column value from row specified by index.
Use .listCleaningTasks.Column(c, r) to pull value specified by column and row indices.
Open and close recordset only one time, outside loop.
Really just need to loop through selected items, not the entire list.
Dim varItem As Variant
If Me.listCleaningTasks.ItemsSelected.Count <> 0 Then
Set rsCleaning = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM cleaning_log")
With rsCleaning
For Each varItem In Me.listCleaningTasks.ItemsSelected
`your code to create record
...
.Fields("cleaning_task_ID") = Me.listCleaningTasks.ItemData(varItem)
...
Next
.Close
End With
Else
MsgBox "No items selected.", vbInformation
End If

Of course the solution of June7 is correct. If you need to store the selected items and then later recall and re-select the list box items, consider to get the selected items comma delimited using this function
Public Function GetSelectedItems(combo As ListBox) As String
Dim result As String, varItem As Variant
For Each varItem In combo.ItemsSelected
result = result & "," & combo.ItemData(varItem)
Next
GetSelectedItems = Mid(result, 2)
End Function
Store it into one column of a table and after reading it back pass it to this sub:
Public Sub CreateComboBoxSelections(combo As ListBox, selections As String)
Dim N As Integer, i As Integer
Dim selectionsArray() As String
selectionsArray = Split(selections, ",")
For i = LBound(selectionsArray) To UBound(selectionsArray)
With combo
For N = .ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
If .ItemData(N) = selectionsArray(i) Then
.Selected(N) = True
Exit For
End If
Next N
End With
Next i
End Sub
This will select items in your ListBox as they were before.
