>Thanks for the information Barabara. However, I tried the select statement and changed the type to SQL statement but I get the same results. The first time I press the 'A' it appears to go to it, but subsequent times it fails. The same for the other two letters although there are clearly many records beginning with those letters. I also ordered the sql by pr_name of course. Eventually, after pressing letters (C, D, O, etc) more than about 5 times it stops jumping to those records at all but just sits on the current item in the listbox.

I haven't had this problem, so I'm not sure what's wrong. The only other thing I can suggest is to see if there's some KeyPress code that's grabbing these keystrokes.
