listbox and set focus

[seeker]

I have a list box on a form and have the following code onload for form

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.lbxNameSearch.SetFocus

End Sub

when the form opens it does not set focus to listbox. The first record is
not hilighted. What is wrong with above code?

Setting focus to the listbox doesn't select the first item. This will do the
job:

Private Sub Form_Load()
lbxNameSearch.SetFocus
Me.lbxNameSearch.Selected(0) = True
End Sub

Thank you that solved THAT problem. now i can not move up and down in the
list box with the arrow keys. If I click the selected record with mouse then
I can move through the listbox with arrow keys. How can I make arrow keys
work without clicking the mouse?

Is your listbox Multi-Select property set to something other than None?
That's the only way I could reproduce not being able to use the arrows to
navigate the box.
