For what it's worth...

I've gotten in the habit of setting the listbox.RowSource = "" doing the requery then setting the RowSource back to the desired alias, cursor, field, etc. I found out, just like with grids, that it sometimes takes the headache away (or prevents it all together).

Since Mario found out that SetFocus works as well, that's definitely a good alternative if you don't mind the focus going back to the listbox.
