Form and a Listbox - Microsoft Access / VBA

kallen via AccessMonster.com

I have a form that is linked to a listbox. The listbox contains a list from
A to Z, lets say. When I click on 'B' the form goes to that record, no
problem. If I click in the form on the txtbox that is bound to the listbox
and scroll with the mouse wheel or search for records that way, it does not
change the highlighted record in the listbox, but does change the records on
the form. How do I get the listbox to change to the appropriate record when
I browse in the form as well?

If I'm reading this right, I don't see why you couldn't use a combobox
with the LimitToList property set to True and the AutoExpand property
to True. Wouldn't that achieve the same thing? You can choose
multiple values from a listbox, but if you're not using that, there's
almost no reason, in my mind, to use a listbox. They definitely have
their place, but I'm not sure this is one of them.

In the On Current event of the form update the list box with the relevant
identifier of the record.
