There is an old saying where a man goes to the doctor and says “when I move my arm like this it hurts, can you fix this” and the doctor replies “yes, don’t move your arm like that”. :) Is there a reason you MUST call LISTBOX INSERT COLUMN or is it just the way you have designed the form and your coding style. I know a lot of people think it is the best way to program to build all your list boxes programmatically. Do it all with code and they have a dozen methods that do all the work. It’s a programming style. The other option is to define your list boxes with the form editor defining all the columns and properties. Then when the form is loaded all that column definition and insertion is eliminated. That is my personal programming preference. If some of your list boxes are used for several purposes you could also create multiple list boxes that are stacked on top of each other, each setup exactly how you need it. Then you show/hide the ones you need as appropriate. I know this is probably not what you want to hear, but if you are determined to cut down on load and display time, and you have found LISTBOX INSERT COLUMN is causing issues, you only have 2 choices: 1. Wait for 4D to make a change to fix this (who knows if/when that would happen) 2. Don’t use LISTBOX INSERT COLUMN Tim ******************************************** Tim Nevels Innovative Solutions 785-749-3444 timnev...@mac.com ******************************************** ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
