I figured out. And this time I'm going to be smart and say what I did, so when I'm searching for this solution again 2 years from now, I won't kick myself for not saying what I did. LOL!
Anyway, I was on the right track with my last paragraph. What I did was make the invisible column the first one. The first column still is bound to the "value", even though it's invisible. So I used that for the key and I'm all set.

>I have a listbox that is populated by a cursor. If I click on an item in the listbox, it changes the record pointer in the cursor, which is good. What I can't figure out is how to do the reverse. If I manually change the record in the cursor, how do I get the selection to change?
