>MODIFY STRUCTURE window represents grid which looks like list. If you are ready to sacrifice type-in feature, then you can use list control too. The idea is following: any time you want to insert/delete/edit/sort list, you actually do these operations on List.Rowsource (e.g. cursor) and List.Requery when necessary.


I was able to do this by taking the list of data and building
a comma-delimted list. I used the list box on the form and
changed the moverbars to .T. and used RowSourceType = "Value". I
stored this variable in the RowSource of the list box. Using
interactive change you can know the value of the list when
the user saves. Perhaps, if you include some kind of integer
field with your list, you can then re-number them based on
the resorted comma-delimited value.

I can't remember all the steps but hopefully this will point
you in the right direction.
