Access2002

I placed a list box with a query as the record source on an unbound form.
The resulting list is long enough to require vertical scroll bars on the list
box.

I need to use the list box for multiple selections. When the multi select
property is set to "none", the vertical scroll bar works properly. When the
multi select property is set to "simple" or "extended", placing the house on
the scroll bar selects an item (or several items) in the list.

I realize I could make the lst box longer, but that's really not a good
solution.

Anybody out else out there had this problemwith the scroll bar?
 
I discovered an answer of sorts. It appears Access2002 expects you to
surmise the exact dimensions of the box it wants in order for the scroll bar
to work properly. I
As in many other instances, Access gives you no clue as to why the problem
happens or what to do about it After checking other applications, I
experimented until I found the width Access liked. Voila.
