Listbox selection

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I'm trying to figure something out about listboxes, any help would be
appreciated...

Is there a difference between the way a row is selected by a user and the
way it is selected programmatically? The reason I ask is that when I click
on a row manually, it becomes highlighted (white text, black BG). When I
select one programmatically, it gains a border but does not become
highlighted. Is there a difference?

Here's the context:
I have a list of items that I want a user to be able to hit 'Y' or 'N' for.
After the user has hit one or the other, depending on the sort options
selected, the rowsource is requeried, which often moves the row just rated
to the bottom of the list. So, I want to save the index of the selected
row, then reselect that index so that the selected row stays in the same
place but the next item is selected.

I'm not sure if that's clear, but maybe someone can get me started.

Thanks again!
Joe
