Where is the text ?? The ListBox changes the record on the form. When
that happens, the ListBox also refreshes, sometimes even doesn't
display the text. This is related to ACCESS 2003 only. This is not the
case in older versions of ACCESS. I wonder if the guys in Microsoft
know about this BUG?
 
You'll have to provide more details about your ListBox, because I haven't
noticed any difference in how they work in Access 2003 versus previous
versions. On the surface of it, it would sound as though your ListBox is
bound to a field on your form, so that when you're selecting something in
it, it's updating the underlying recordset.
 
Do this:

create new microsoft access database

create new table named Table1 with only two columns ID,Text

ID - autonumber, primary key
Text - text

Enter some fields in the text, try with more text and more records


Create new form

Set recordsouce = Table1 in design view

Add the two fields into details section

Make sure the Control wizard is ON

Add listbox in the form header section, and by the way choose "Find a
record on my form based on what I select in my listbox" when asked ,
also height to display aproximately 20 records.

Thats it.

Now open the form in form view, and try choosing different records in
the listbox with the mouse. You will see that the ListBox blinks. This
is what I was talking about. This is very anoying when it comes to
listboxes with about 4 columns and 100 records.

This was not the issue in Access 2002. I have a database in Access
2002 worked with it for 2 years, now i transferred to 2003 and this
problem is what I don't like in 2003.

So Douglas, please tell me what is wrong with my listboxes. I tried
this on several computers on different locations. The listbox should
not blink (when I mean blink, it means that it repaints itself, causing
blinking on the corners, the text)

Also in 2003 my clients have noticed the same problem with Comboboxes,
not showing the text in the column, even the black horizontal label is
there, and etc...
 
I followed your instructions exactly, and am not seeing the problem you're
describing.

Sorry I can't help you.
