Bug in Extended Multi-Select Listboxes?

[Sensibilium]

Hi,

I have a couple of reusable forms which contain a listbox (multi-select = Extended), that I am using as a record selection tool (eg: products table is listed, user selects one or more products, and hits the Open Form button).

All works fine and the data form picks up the data from the selction form without worries, however, every now and again, the selection highlighting fails. By that I mean the user left-clicks on a single row (say at the bottom of the listbox/recordset), and Access highlights every row from the top of the listbox all the way down to the selected row.

Using the shift or ctrl keys and clicking elsewhere just moves the end of the highlighted rows to the row clicked.

The only way I can stop this from happening is to close Access altogether and start it up again.

Does anyone have any idea how I can stop this from happening or is it a bug that M$ just refuses to fix?

I'd attach a screenshot, but it's not possible to do that here

If I haven't made myself clear enough, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

ahdkaw, I've seen this too. No solution that I know of except restarting Access.

Although no solution...this is not just a problem in the list boxes....once this starts, this tends to happen everywhere. I find it most often in the VBA window.....

Speaking of bugs... I have a DB that on one workstation will very occasionally start popping a run-time error '5' on code that uses the Replace() function. Drove me crazy for a little while. At first I thought it was my code, but other boxes configured identically ran it fine. Finally I got smart and went back to my first line of defense: the cleansing re-boot. Still don't know why it does it, but a re-boot fixes it.

mstrmage1768 - I just noticed that it is just restricted to listboxes, it occurs everywhere including in the Properties dialogs...

Thanks for the responses all.
