my code in the keypress event is as follows
with thisform.mylistbox1
.rowsource="select job from conlist where job =thisform.mylistbox1.value into cursor tbb"
endwith
DODEFAULT()
thisform.mylabels1.caption='Hi '+thisform.mylistbox1.value
thisform.mylistbox1.refresh
thisform.mytextbox1.refresh
thisform.refresh

but the label remains blank :(
