MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a new form.



2. Add the following tables to the Data Environment:

   
      Customer   (Located in VFP/SAMPLES/DATA/)
      Orders     (Located in VFP/SAMPLES/DATA/) 

   NOTE: The tables should not be related.



3. Add a text box to the form. The text box should prevent the list box from receiving the focus when the form is run.



4. Add a list box to the form, and change the following properties:

   
      ColumnCount    =  2
      ColumnWidth    =  0,100
      ControlSource  =  ORDERS.CUST_ID
      RowSource      =  CUSTOMER.CUST_ID,CONTACT
      RowSourceType  =  FIELDS 




5. Run the form. Note that the list box is scrolled to the top and no row is highlighted. If you press the TAB key to move to the list box, the correct row is highlighted.
