Hi Ken,

I wanted to set up business indicators in a listbox form. What worked for me
(and is fast) is to set one column as a picture array and then load small
pictures from the picture library into the array depending on the data. In
my case, I used small colored spheres created in Photoshop.

You can see what it looks like here:
