Probably really simple but I cant work it out...

I have a list box on a form with a few records in. When I open the form the
first record is sort of highlight with a dashed box, when I cursor down the
record changes to inverse video and from then on I can sroll up and down the
records with the inverse video highlight.

I just cant seem to get the form to open with the first record already
highlighted in inverse video.

I have tried setting the focus to the listbox on opening the form and I have
also tried using sendkeys to imitate me pressing the down arrow but nothing
seems to work.

Please help?

Thanks

In the Load event of the form, set the ListIndex property of the listbox
to 0 (defaults to -1 I think)

I prefer human mail above automated so in my address
replace the queue with a tea

Alternative:

lst.Value = lst.ItemData(1)

Daryl the reccommended approach handles the ColumnHeads prop:
Me.Combo1.Value = Me.Combo1.ItemData(Abs(Me.Combo1.ColumnHeads))

Just my $.02
