<div>
To select the first row:<br />
<br />
Me.YourListview.Selected(0<wbr />) = True
</div>


To select the first row:

Me.YourListview.Selected(0) = True

<div>

That will select the first item, but if you immediately print the value of the list, it will still be null. &nbsp;I use<br />
<br />
Me.lst_Numbers = Me.lst_Numbers.ItemData(-M<wbr />e.lst_Numb<wbr />ers.Column<wbr />Heads)<br />
<br />
you could use 0 as the index # for ItemData, but if you have ColumnHeads turned on, it will not work, so I generally just use this all of the time.

Scott,

That will select the first item, but if you immediately print the value of the list, it will still be null.  I use

Me.lst_Numbers = Me.lst_Numbers.ItemData(-Me.lst_Numbers.ColumnHeads)

you could use 0 as the index # for ItemData, but if you have ColumnHeads turned on, it will not work, so I generally just use this all of the time.

<div>
Actually, you need two lines, one to set the value and the other to actually select the item in the list:<br />
<br />
Me.lst_Numbers = Me.lst_Numbers.ItemData(-M<wbr />e.lst_Numb<wbr />ers.Column<wbr />Heads)<br />
Me.lst_Numbers.selected(-M<wbr />e.lst_Numb<wbr />ers.Column<wbr />Heads) = true<br />
<br />

you are correct, my bad. &nbsp;Have not had my coffee yet. &nbsp;I was thinking you had to set the value of the list as well, so I guess the 2nd line would suffice for all circumstances.<br />
<br />
Me.lst_Numbers.selected(-M<wbr />e.lst_Numb<wbr />ers.Column<wbr />Heads) = true<br />
