This article was previously published under Q211696





SYMPTOMS
When you scroll through a list box on a worksheet or a UserForm, you may not be able to scroll to the last item in the list.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the following conditions are true:
 * The height of the list box is too small to display the entire list at one time.

-and-
 * The last item in the list is not displayed; for example, the last item is not displayed if you scroll to the top of the list.

-and-
 * You run a macro to change the height of the list box while the last item in the list is not displayed.

To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:  Scroll to the last item in the list box before you run a macro that increases the height of the list box.

-or-  If you want to run a macro that changes the height of the list box, change the height of the list box by setting it to a value instead of calculating the height in an operation.

The following line of sample code fails: ListBox1.Height = ListBox1.Height + 10 However, the following line of sample code works correctly: ListBox1.Height = 80 



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Excel 2000.
