Hi,

To get the list item highlighted, do a SetFocus to your list box from
the form Init method. This will highlight the item in the list so you
might need to move your ListIndex property also.

Maybe you need to use the DisplayValue of the list box to get the
right value, but I don't know if the type would be the same since
I haven't had a list of dates yet.

I suppose I could pass that back to the calling form. Is that the best way? If so, I assume I can use a CTOD to convert it back to date format?
