Generally speaking, ControlSource is supposed to be a field, while RowSource could be a table. That's why I assumed that you could make a mistake there.
In regard to SET FILTER, you should not use it. It's much better to populate your list separately. If you have limited number of items then just SELECT them into a cursor, and use it as RowSource, or just scan them and populate ListBox with AddItem or AddListitem.
