I need this type of function because I am using a 3rd part virtual listbox that requires me to populate the listbox myself. Lets say I have a listbox on a form that has 10 rows. Each time a row needs to be populated, a method called getdata() is fired where I populate each column in the row with data. A parameter called nRow is passed to the getdata() method which indicates the row number I am to populate. When there is no index order set, I can simply issue the go and then populate the columns. However, if an index order is set, issuing go will produce the wrong results. The Locate, skip works well, except when nRow is a large number.
