Hi Gino,

As Larry said, exactly what you want to do cannot be done within Access
requirements, but there are other ways to get the same functionality:

1.
instead of using a listbox, consider using a continuous form
(I have some really neat code to highlight the active record if you want it)

2.
if you want to keep using the listbox, the only way to trap the
movements is to control them... lock the listbox and force the users to
scroll using command buttons for (ie UP, DOWN, TOP, BOTTOM, and
possibly also a Search combo...

Warm Regards,
Crystal
