>I've built a little browse window for an app. It has a list box with patients in it. If the user double-clicks on a patient in the list box, s/he is taken to the edit mode of that patient (another form which allows the user to edit or delete). I've used and reused this with other clients and other file structures with no problem.

It's in alpha order by last name, and she sees Applebee and Astor and all the other names, and if she clicks and drags the square on the thermometer bar down, she sees what looks like the end of the list. But she only sees Wallerby, and she knows there's a Zimmerman and a couple of others >Wallerby, too. If she plays with the up/down arrows on the thermometer bar, or if she hits page up/down a few times, Zimmerman and the others magically appear!

What is the rowsource? In the old version of our app, the guy had made the rowsource the whole table. When the table got big, the user had this same problem. I fixed it by SELECTing into a cursor and using that as the rowsource. I imagine there's a point where even that is too big, but if that's the case, maybe a listbox isn't the best choice anyway.
