>hi - is there a way to create a multi-line listbox? i want an extra line in a row if the column width doesn't accommodate the amount of text.

You can have a dynamic tooltip.
Subclass your listbox. In the subclass, mark the ToolTip property to have an access method (in menu/class/Edit property-method). Your tooltip_access method looks like this:
lcValue=alltrim(this.List(this.ListIndex,1))
RETURN lcValue
In my case, it was ,3 - because I needed to have the third column shown.
Don't forget to set .form.showtips=.t.
