Hiya Bill ---

I found a workaround. Create a custom form property called SelectThem. Default it to .T. In the Refresh of the Form:

IF THIS.SelectThem
   THIS.List1.Selected(2)=.T.
   THIS.List2.Selected(3)=.T.
   THIS.SelectThem=.F.
ENDIF

This will do a one-shot on initializing the listbox.

I have tried putting the code in the form.Init and form.Activate as well, with no success. My goal is to have a multi-select listbox which can be initialized to show the currently chosen items as 'selected'.
