-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

The list box does not initially highlight the correct row until it has received
the focus. The list box is always scrolled to the top of the list.

     THIS.REQUERY()

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.
