======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 5.0, 5.0a, 6.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

A listbox displaying fields from a table is not refreshed correctly when the
following commands are issued:

      SET FILTER TO <myfilter>

Then one of the following two commands:

      ThisForm.Refresh

      ThisForm.List<#>.Refresh

WORKAROUND
==========

Immediately after issuing the SET FILTER command, issue a SETFOCUS command to
the list box and back again to the object on the form where control should be.
As in the "Steps to Reproduce Behavior" below, in the Click event of the command
buttons, the following lines of code would be used:

     ThisForm.List1.SetFocus       && sets the focus to the list box
     ThisForm.Command<#>.SetFocus  && sets the focus back to the button

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------

1. Create a new form.

2. Add the Customer table to the data environment.

3. Create a list box on the form.

   a. Set the RowSource property to "customer.country"

   b. Set the RowSourceType to "6 - Fields"

4. Create a Command1 button, and enter the following code in its Click event
   procedure:

      SET FILTER TO maxordamt < 25000.0000  && sets the filter
      x=FILTER()                && populating the variable with the filter
      thisform.refresh          && refreshing the form

5. Create a Command2 button, and enter the following code in its Click event
   procedure:

      SET FILTER TO maxordamt = 5000.0000 && sets the filter
      x=FILTER()               && populating the variable with the filter
      thisform.refresh         && refreshing the form

6. Create a Command3 button, and enter the following code in its Click event
   procedure:

      SET FILTER TO country = "Germany" && sets the filter
      x=FILTER()               && populating the variable with the filter
      thisform.refresh         && refreshing the form

7. Create a Command4 button, and enter the following code in its Click event
   procedure:

      SET FILTER TO            && clears the filter
      x=FILTER()               && populating the variable with the filter
      thisform.refresh         && refreshing the form

8. Create a text box, and set its ControlSource property to x.

9. Run the form, and click the Command1 button. Notice that the list box doesn't
   refresh properly. Click the other buttons, and watch the behavior of the list
   box. Click the list box, and watch the contents change according to which
   filter is set. Watch the text box to see which filter is set.
