What you are doing should work.

Maybe your form is corrupted.

What's the row source for the ListBox?

When you say it works for the first time but not the second, are you refering
to the key presses for an autofind listbox? So you are trying to select
entry "abc" and you type "a" it selects the first items that starts with an "a"
but when you press "b" it goest to the first items that starts with an "b"
instead of going to the first items that starts with an "ab"?

It should only work for the first key pressed and not for the second or third.

no i m not reffering to autofind listbox i have just kept sorted property to true

if my listbox is having 3 items list "abc","efg","hij" when i press first time abc it goes to that row then when i press efg it goes to the second row but when again i press abc it doesnt go
