This article was previously published under Q171551 SYMPTOMS
When the Locked property of the 32-bit DBList and DBCombo controls is set
to True, the following problems may occur:
- Attempts to programmatically modify the Text or BoundText properties
cause error 387 - Property can't be set on this control.
- The control does not show data from the current record.
CAUSE
This problem is caused by a bug in the Visual Basic 5.0 Data Bound List
Controls (DBList32.ocx) in the version that ships with the product
(5.00.3714) and in the version that ships with Service Pack 2 (5.01.4319).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. This bug has been corrected in version
5.01.4511 of the DBList32.ocx file that ships in Visual Studio 97 Service
Pack 3.

MORE INFORMATION
This bug does not occur with any 16-bit versions of Visual Basic.
Although this bug did not occur with the 32-bit version of Visual Basic
4.0, the bug can cause problems with 32-bit applications built by Visual
Basic 4.0.
If an application built by the 32-bit version of Visual Basic 4.0 uses the
Data Bound List Controls and an application built by Visual Basic 5.0 is
installed on that same machine, the older version of the Data Bound List
Controls will be overwritten and the bug may occur.
