Thank you for replying...I tried your suggestion and now the value is correct, however, when I issue the setfocus and refresh, the focus is still not activating on the selected record. I am using this code in the list init:

SELECT t_pick
IF SEEK(m.t_millordr, 't_pick')
thisform.list1.value = t_pick.t_millordr
m.lst = t_pick.t_millordr
thisform.list1.setfocus
thisform.list1.refresh
ENDIF
