This did not help. Actually, I have a combo box on the form. In the InterAcitveChange event of the combo box, I select items in the list box. When going to the list box to override the selections, by CTRL-Clicking on other items, the items selected by code are de-selected.

>>I have a form with a multi select list box. When the form is launched, I have some code that automatically selects some of the items in the list box. The user then may alter the selections.
>>
>>This is not working well. The initial selections from my code are displayed properly, but when the user CTRL-Clicks on any item, all of the items initially selected, from my code, are de-selected.
>>
>>The list box is set to multi-select, as the user can continue CTRL-Clicking on other items, keeping the previous items selected by clicking.

>>How do I keep the items my code selects and allow the user to additionally select other items?
