Hi Harry ---

Nope, you're not crazy nor under the influence :-)

That's a problem with VFP. The items are selected but lose their selected appearence when the list is messed with. There is a KB article about this on the MS website.

>I have a listbox whose control source is several fields of a table. There are many pages of data, and the MultiSelect property has been set to true. There is a method attached to the MouseUp method to display information based on whatever the user has finished selecting. The table in question is SCAN ENDSCAN'd during this method but I am saving and restoring the record number and TopItemID property before I do this.

>On the very first (or if you prefer top) page of the listbox this works perfectly. But on all other pages of the listbox the contents of the listbox invariably vanishes when the MouseUp method is executed -- it just goes blank. I know that the proper list items are selected, and if I click on another control on the same form sometimes the contents of the listbox reappear (and sometimes they don't).
