Hi Jim,

That definitely makes sense, though I have always used a limit of 150-200. If there are more records then I usually end up using a combo just above the listbox which filters the data for an interface.

Thanks for the message though. I think developers need to know about this. :)

>Just what the users are lining up for, a 35,000 item lsitbox. VFP may nt have a limit for items in alist but sound user interface design sure does. I limit all my lists to no more than 50-100 items. If there are more than that th choose from I create a form that has multiple controls for the user to use in searching for what they want.
