I agree... using a grid is the most reliable way to go, but I really love the continuous scroll capability of a listbox versus the jumpy scroll of a grid. Am trying to develope a means to quickly pan through a lot of data, pick out the rows of interest, and do something with them. I have found that the native VFP listbox, using multiselect, is in concept very fast but seems rife with reliability issues.
