Listbox won't display contents until I click on it
I have a form with a list box. Everything works fine except the contents of
the listbox don't display until I click on the listbox. Thoughts? |

Listbox won't display contents until I click on it
Does the list have it's own rowsource? How do you set the rowsource?
When the listbox is bound to a rowsource it should display it's data as soon as you open the form. Any other settings that might prevent it from being filled... -- Maurice Ausum "SteveL5231" wrote: I have a form with a list box.

The rowsource is a query.

Ok, so the lisbox should display directly.
Try creating a new form with a new listbox created with the lisbox wizard and save the form. Is the lisbox being filled as it should be? -- Maurice Ausum "SteveL5231" wrote: The rowsource is a query.

... I have a form with a list box. Everything works fine except the contents of the listbox don't display until I click on the listbox. Thoughts? Are you running Access 2003, and have you applied SP3, without applying the post-SP3 hotfix? Does this KnowledgeBase article describe your problem? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945280/ Combo box controls and list box controls display no value or incorrect values in Access 2003 after you install Office 2003 Service Pack 3 If that is the problem, the hotfix may fix it. You can find the hotfix itself at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945674/ But don't install that hotfix unless the above article really describes your situation. -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP Access tips: www.datagnostics.com/tips.html (please reply to the newsgroup) |
