The ListBox is in front of the PageFrame, but it is an independent object (not on any of the pages) - the idea being that its contents are re-loaded depending on the Page selected by the user. (This allows the programmer to divide the forms into categories.)

I had re-installed Visual FoxPro 6 - but omitted to install SP5. It seems that after installing SP5, the problem went away - the ListBox appears where it is supposed to (inside the form!).

For the end-user, this meant copying the updated version of the DLL files.
