Slow Motion List Box

[Marco Perez]

I have upgraded my Windows 95 to Windows 98, MS Office 97 to MS Office 2000, and VB5 to VB6. I converted the database that I am using from Access97 to Access2000.

I wrote a program in VB5 that worked just fine. However, I converted my program to VB6 and now have an unusual problem that I cannot seem to resolve.

On one of my forms, I have a ListBox from which the end-user selects item(s). The list comes from a MS Access table. The ListBox Properties Sorted is set to True for the end-user to see the list alphabetically.

When I converted the program to VB6, I was asked to up-date a couple of files. Because I was distracted by someone at work, I said "Yes" without seeing which files they were. Now I don't
know which files they were so that I don't know how to undo whatever happened.

Now, the ListBox fills and sorts the list in slow motion; i.e., about one item every ½ second. The end-user watches the ListBox fill and sort slowly. Aestheically, it looks horrible.

What is causing this problem? Is there anyway that I can resolve this problem. I really want the end-user to see a sorted list.

I have tried sorting the list first and then filling the ListBox, but that didn't work. Whenever the ListBox fills, it is in slow motion now matter what I do with the records.

Apparently, these loaded files are in conflict with something. And, what ever is not working right is causing me nightmares.

Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.

the list is directly connected to a datasource? have you tryed using an index?
