It depends on what you are doing in the Initialize and Activate events.

Using a boolean public variable is useful in many cases (but not all) to
block events from running.

Thanks very much for responding. I have actually used both click and
change. Same effect. I have overcome the initial problem using an
event suppression solution from Dick Kusleika. Thanks, Dick! I also
changed the first procedure from initialize to activate, though I am
unclear what the difference is.

It still seems weird to me that change and especially click events fire
during Initialization. Even though I am please that I got my program
to work, I would still love to understand what's going on with
initialize, activate, and how they affect the values in listbox
controls.
