Ups! In the example that I mentioned there is ONE deleted record and that is the reason of the difference between reccount() and listcount property. However, the listbox control is detecting the deleted record UNTIL I scroll down the listbox - not when I assign the RowSource property.

How can I force the listbox to update the listcount property just-in-time?
