Set the ROWSOURCE type to FIELDS like my main form ( using a cursor ), ran the form and it also deselected the items when TABbing into the listbox. But, when I set the ROWSOURCE type to ARRAY, created and populated the array and bound it to the listbox, TABbing into the listbox did not deselect the items. I wonder if it could have something to do with tables as ROWSOURCEs per se, or possibly record pointers?

Bill,

Youa re finding some interesting things out here. Most all of my lists use addlistitem to build them and I also don't use multiselect very much at all (preferring mover type dialogs) so I don't have alot of experiience with multiselect lists. I am interested in what you are finding out though.
