I have a database that runs fine in Windows 98. When I
run things in Windows XP there's a problem.

The user is in a form with 5 tabs. If the user exits the
form from one of the pages where there is a list box, a
box with "Enter Parameter Value" appears If they exit
from one of the 3 pages without the list box they exit
fine.

Any ideas?

This is a known bug - see the following KB Article for more information:

The way I have worked around the problem is to replace the saved SQL for my
combo boxes with SQL that is built 'on-the-fly' in response to the
After-Update event of the related control and in the Current event of the
form. Another method of allievating the problem is to use the Click event of
your close button to first set the rowsource of the offending combobox to
the nullstring ("" or vbnullstring).
