Nevermind Barbara. I figured it out, their is a subclass code that fires resulting to resetting the listbox. Although, putting the code in activate event remains ? to me.

>>Yes, the methods I've suggested do work. I've used them both. Your requirement of putting a call in every object's MouseMove is burdensome and completely unnecessary.

>>>>You must either put your code in the form's Activate method, or, if it's in the form's Init, you must have a THIS.SETFOCU() in the Init of the listbox.

>>>It won't work Barbara. What I've done was this:
>>>
>>>1. Created firsttime property of the form initially set as .T.
>>>2. Created custom method with this code:
>>>

>>>If Thisform.firsttime
>>>    For i = 1 TO This.List1.ListCount
>>>	This.List1.Selected(i) = .T.
>>>    Endfor
>>>    Thisform.firsttime = .F.
>>>Endif
>>>
>>>3. Each object's MOUSEMOVE property especially FORM, should call the routine above for execution.
