>>>>>>>>>I have a listbox which is defaulting to values. The values are some IP addresses such as 1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2,3.3.3.3. At this point, if I run the form, the listbox default value is none. If I open the listbox, I see those three values. However, I would like the listbox to default to the first value. So, I enter 1.1.1.1 in the value property. I don't even run the form. I just save it and when I come back the value is set back to 0. What am I missing?

I guess I'm not the only one who need to default a listbox with values to a default value. I'm just wondering if there could be a way to do at the property level.

At this point, i think you should reverse your smily to :(

In my tests putting 1 in either displayvalue or value
show the first list element when the form was display...

May be you have played to far with the setting of this listbox?
