>Yeah, I know I shouldn't be using a listbox, but I'm just sick of using grids. :(

Ok, try this thread: Classes - VCX Flakiness behavior of multilists in VFP 6.0 Thread #317930

I found bunch of others, but this is probably the best to understand the potential problems.

>>It was said here multiple times, that it's better not use ListBoxes (especially multiselect listboxes) for number of items greater than 100. If you'd use them for 5000 items, you definitely find bunch of problems. I already found this, so then I switched to multiselect Grid (available here in Files section - file by Cetin Basoz). I created quite complicated class based on Cetin's class and posted it also in Files section. You may want to take a look at both of them.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
