You are not going to believe this. As I mentioned before I thought that I had to click on the listbox on page 6 in order to get the other lists to work, but with further study I realized it was just activating and deactivating the 6th page. So I put a form.pageframe.page6.activate() and a
form.pageframe.page6.deactivate() in the form.init and they all work now!!

(Oh and BTW, I still have the code that makes the listboxes visible and invisible...I don't know if I want to jinx it by taking that code out, I do think it has a role to play.)

I love WORKAROUNDS!!! This has been a very frustrating couple of days...I know, "welcome to programming". Believe me I've had some of these over the last 10 years, but this was the craziest.

THANKS TO ALL FOR THE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>Bob, I needed to do two things; (1) remove my custom form.refresh method and leave that method blank (I moved my code to a custom form method instead), (2) issue a thisform.pageframe1.refresh in the init of the form. This solved all my problems without needing to move any objects around.

>>>Yes. Sort of. I did try resizing the objects to less than 50 percent, and that seemed to work, but it made the form unusable. I tried various sizes, but never could get them small enough and still have the same functionality. I got one listbox to work, only to have others not work.

>>>I didn't quite understand what you meant by the refresh, so in the Init event of the class (form) I refreshed each list control, still no go.
