Default 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?

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...

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?

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.
