How do I programmatically change the selected item on a list control, when I do not know the IndexID?

I have a form which contains a list of contacts on the left side, and the detail for the selected contact on the right side (a container object of textfields). I add a new contact by:
scatter memvars blank
Insert Into SQL statement

When the user has completed the record, they click a "Confirm" button that does the TableUpdate.

At that point, I want the new contact to be selected in the list. It does appear in the list, as it is bound to the same cursor as the container object fields, but I can't get it to move to the correct field. I do not know the list item # of the new record at that time.

TIA.
