Ashish,
Use SQL as rowsourcetype.

*Listbox.init && All props are at their default
with this
 .RowsourceType=3
 .Rowsource = 'select CustName, CustNo '+;
  ' from Master '+;
  ' where !(TV_OUT == "" and CTA_OUT == "") '+;
  ' into cursor crsListMaster'
 .ColumnCount = 2 
 .BoundColumn = 2
 .ColumnWidths = '100,50'
 .Controlsource = 'mytable.custno' 
endwith

PS: empty() is not optimizable.
