Default (auto select row) in list box.

[Guest]

I would like to have the listboxes on my form default (select/hightlight) the
first row in the box upon opening the form.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

try putting this in the onLoad event procedure of your form:

me.YourListBox.setFocus
me.YourListbox.Listindex=0

-John

On the Load event of the form you can run the code

Me.MyListName.Selected(0) = True

Thanks to you both. I got the solution.

I tried this solution, but it does not work for me. The first row in the list
does not turn black. It is not selected. What do I do wrong?

thanks,

I've tried Me.cboNameOfList.Selected(0) = true, but this resulted in a
compile error.
