Strange Listbox Problems

[Darren]

On a form is a listbox (expanded to a large box to show all entries) used as
a seletion menu, the OnClick event is set so that when an option is
selected from the listbox, the relevant form will open.

In Access 97 everything is great, however, having converted the form to
Access 2002 a strange thing occurs (albeit intermitently).

When a new form opens via the listbox, user completes all the entries
required and closes the opened form, the listbox on the First form is still
visible, but the contents are not. If you click in the list box, the form
relating to the content opens as expected (ie third item down in the listbox
was to open a "Enter New Customer" form).

If any of the above makes sense, can anyone shed some light on the problem?

Regards
Darren

Darren,

I've only seen something similar in large databases on older computer
with weak graphics card (2-8 MB) and little RAM (<=32 MB).
