Don,

You don't say what file this listbox appears so it is hard to give you a
definitive answer.

But.....  

I am doing something similar at one clients site but from a different angle.  I
am capturing the clerk's name as they enter orders.   At a given time they can
select an option from their menu which lists all of their orders which are
unprinted.  They can then select the order they want to print and a list box
appears listing the 5 types of barcode labels which may be printed.  They select
the label and the barcode labels for the order are printed along with the proper
address labels.  There is also an option from this browse window to print a
report of these unprinted orders.

In your case, you could substitute the clerk's name for the customer code and
use a browse to display the orders in question.  Then if they need to see the
details press <V> to view the record.

My program runs from a file called LIBRARY and uses @entsel or you could use
@once since no data is stored in this file.  You can even use the system command
to allow the printing of the selected order.

As I indicated above, my routine prints 2 different sets of labels and can print
a report if wanted.
