I don't have a ControlSource set on the listBox my version of this that I created with the 'MODIFY FORM', and it works. Besides, what would I set the controlSource to? I tried setting it to the array (which is the recordSource), that didn't work.

This is a head scratcher (I just tried this):

I created a form with MODIFY FORM, with a listBox on it. I added a property to the form called someArray[3], and populated the array with strings in Form init. Set the recordSource of listbox to 'thisForm.someArray'. Works great.

Then I went into ClassBrowser, viewed the code for the form, cut and pasted it into a program file. I put the following above the DEFINE CLASS code:

---

set classLib to 'sgClasses' additive

oForm = createObject('form1')
oForm.show()
read events

endproc

---

And the form runs, except now the listBox.value is an integer, instead of the strings from the array.
