Well, just shot a whole day attempting what seems to be a simple problem.

Have a list box control with a SQL Select for the data in the control.

I want to be able to have ALL items in the listbox inititally selected when the form is instantiated.

I put code in the init event of the listbox
FOR m.i = 1 TO THIS.Listcount
THIS.Selected(m.i) = .T.
ENDFOR

and I can step through it and see the rows get selected but when the form is activated all of the selection disappears.

thanks, kim
