Okay, I think I've narrowed down the problem, but I still can't solve it. My listbox loads properly with data from my table. I select multiple items and all is well. But if I deactivate and re-activate the form (i.e. by selecting another form and returning to the first one), the previously selected items in my listbox are no longer selected. How can I keep the items selected?
