I agree that the article is wrong. I also have VFP 5.0a and still have that problem.

>Sean: That was the problem, however the article says the this has been fixed in VFP 5.0a. This is not true because I have VFP 5.0a.

>>I have experienced the same problem and came to find out it is a bug with the timer control. If the timer event fires when you are making a selection, your choice will not be captured. So if you have a timer firing, say, every second, unless you can make a choice in less than a second, it won't work. Check out Microsoft KB article Q161184 for more information.
