Barry,

When using the property sheet, you should basically NEVER use " VFP automatically does that on it's own.

> RowSource = "f_ordno", "f_orddte", "f_company"

I'm suprised this worked at all.

>thisform.list22.rowsource = "f_ordno, f_orddte, f_company"

This line needs the table alias on the first field.
