Patrick-

I really understand how frustrating it can be to face an annoying bug, but if you seriously want help from people without torturing us, too, it would be deeply appreciated if you'd try to clearly state the problem. Using correct capitalization and some logical line breaks would go a long way.

I'd go so far as to say it might even help you find the solution.

The only thing I can really grab on to in the message is that you have two "almost the same" listboxes. One works and one doesn't. I would start by looking at what is different about the listboxes.

Then, I'd try to eliminate other things it might be. For example, apparently you have code that fires in the interactive change method. Try commenting that code out and see if you have the same problem.

You might need to isolate the problem container on another form, for example, and see if it is within that control.

Just some things to try and narrow down where the problem is.
