List Box Default
Please be aware that while upgrading the Nifty Access Website I discovered this post. I tried to link it back to the original post on Access World Forums, however I couldn’t I find the post. I found one that looks similar, but I don’t think it is the correct one! I’m going to leave this post like it is for now and get back to it at a later date. Nothings wrong with the post other than the links back to the forum might not be correct… cheers Tony.
