selecting value in listbox

[Jean-Paul De Winter]

Hi,
I created a listbox with 5 different values.
When I want to enter data, I scroll to the correct value an jump to the next
entryfield (or whateverà
It seems the value in the listbox isn't known at that moment, when I go to
the listbox and click IN the listbox itself, only then the value seems to be
known...
This is annoying... is there a way to just display the choosen value and
immediatly place this value in the correct field?

Hope you understand,
Thanks for your kind help
JP

If I understand you correctly, you are using the arrow keys to move the
highlight to the desired selection then tabbing or clicking to the next
control. When you do this, the value for the listbox isn't set. First, make
sure the list box isn't set for Simple or Extended multiselect. If it is,
then it won't have a "value", a multiselect listbox has to be treated
differently.

If this is correct, it is a known problem. One possible answer would be to
hit the Enter key to set the value, I don't remember if this works around
the problem or not. Also, I just tried it in Access 2003 SP1 and the problem
doesn't appear to be occurring.
