I am just learning to program and cannot figure out what is wrong with the
following line of code. I am trying to take the value of one item from a
ListBox and assign it to a string variable. Please help. Thanks.

strExistingTime = lstTimes.Items.Item(intCounter).ToString()

If all you have for each item is text then this will work, how are you
loading your listbox?

Here is the portion of the code where I add info to the listbox:

      ' display new appointment in ListBoxes
      lstAppointments.Items.Add(txtAppointment.Text)
      lstTimes.Items.Add(dtpTime.Value.ToShortTimeString)
