What's in column 1? You asked about Dim [Price], why don't you store the price in a table so it's accessible whenever you want without worrying about whether it's declared or not?
If you are going to join it on data from a table, you'll probably want a function getPrice() as Price that displays the price in a query, but that price is going to change I assume depending on what is in column 1. Right? So you'll need to getPrice(identifier as [Datatype]) based on the information in column1. Using the identifier, you could then calculate a Price and display that. (This will probably slow down the query...A Lot)
IE
[VBA]
SELECT Table1.Product, getPrice([Table1].[Product]) as Price From Table1
....
Function getPrice(p as String) as Double/Currency
getPrice = [logic for determining the price based on column1 information]
End Function
[/VBA]
I would suggest storing the Price into a table with its associated [Column1] data. Whether you do it in a temp table that just gets deleted later, or a permanent table that gets updated at a certain point in the application, it'll perform better that way and you can ensure the correct data.

No no, ive got data in the first column thats just text, its the name of the product, column 2 displays the price, this is so i can do the totals easier because i want to add up all of the numbers in column 2 to get a total.
Then wouldn't you want to just sum the data in column 2? I don't understand what the Dim [Price] was about.
SELECT SUM(Column2) From Table1 and bind it to a textbox under your listbox.
Basically a current form pages price value, then shoves it in the list box after a button is clicked
I'll try and build a demo and see if I can post it for you to reference, unless you want to post what you have. Either way, I'll try and demonstrate it better than I can explain it.
Thank you :)
