>>>mmm... I was brief because i assumed (applies to me, not you :-) ) that I had encountered a known misbehavior in the list box.
>>>There are five values entered in the rowsource and the rowsourcetype is set to 1 - value. The listbox will not show all five values, but behaves more like a spinner box. I replaced the listbox with a dropdown combo and got the effect I was wanting, but I asked about the listbox to see if I misuderstood how to use it or if this behavior was a 'feature'.
