Dear MS,

I have done a fair amount of Excel VBA programming, but this is a new odd
behavior. I have a form with 3 listboxes. All 3 listboxes have a range as a
Rowsource. When the form opens they are all populated and display just fine.
I want an item selected in the first listbox to force the same selection
(i.e. listindex) in the other 2 listboxes. In the listbox1_Click()
subroutine I put the following code:

listbox2.ListIndex = listbox1.ListIndex
listbox3.ListIndex = listbox1.ListIndex

v1 = listbox1.Value (or .Text)
v2 = listbox2.Value (or .Text)
v3 = listbox3.Value (or .Text)

v1 and v2 have the right stuff but v3 = ""

Here is another twist, in
UserForm_Activate() I do:

ListBox1.ListIndex = 0

This of course triggers ListBox1_Click(). The form shows all three listboxes
with the first item (listindex = 0) selected. However, Listbox1.Text 1 and
ListBox3.Text are empty and Listbox2 is correct. If I then follow that bny
clicking on ListBox1, ListBox1.Text and ListBox2.Text are correct, but
ListBox3.Text is empty
Any ideas?

TIA,

Bill
