Hi John,

I had the exact same question a couple of days ago for a combobox.

Here's the answer I got for a combobox. I would think it would work that same as for a listbox. Try it and see. This worked for me outside my combobox like at Form Init time.

THISFORM.myCombobox.ListIndex = 1
THISFORM.myCombobox.DisplayValue = 'My Value'
