>I have a form with a listbox control on it. Everytime I activate the form, the screen show's the message "select x number of records". How can I make this NOT happen b/c it's casuuing questions from the end users....

Set Talk is scoped to the datasession. If your forms use private datasessions, add Set Talk off in the form's load method. If you use a form baseclass set it there and the project forms will inherit the behavior.
