listbox contents selection

[davidoc]

Hi Folks,
this is probably a really easy one but has baffled me for ages now. I have a listbox on a form which for some reason won't allow me select a row. I want to use listbox.column(number) in the listbox double click event and it is only giving me null!

any help much appreciated
thanks
Dave

You mean you cannot physically click on a row inside the listbox? Or do you mean the value returned by the listbox is Null? By any chance, is this a multiselect listbox?

its not a multiselect. When I click on a row in the box it doesn't even get highlighted. I know there's an easy answer to this one (someone told me before but I can't remember...)

You're sure the form allows edits and that the listbox is not locked?

form didn't allow edits.
thank you for bearing with me!!
