>>I have a listbox on a form, data supplied by 2 fields: descr, id . BoundColumn - 2. Control Source: Thisform.nID . BoundTo = .T. as I want the id number stored as the form property and not the index number of the chosen line.

Tamar, spot on! Removed the Controlsource and put code in the InteractiveChange to synch the form property and it works fine.
