PRB: CTRL+HOME in List Box Moves to First Item in List Box
'Article ID: Q95387

Creation Date: 08-FEB-1993

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

When you press CTRL+HOME in a list box, the pointer moves to the first item in the list box, not the first field in the first record.

However, when you check the online Help topic &quot;Navigation Keys--Datasheets and Grids,&quot; you see that CTRL+HOME has two purposes. You can press it to move to the first field in the first record, or, in a multiple-line text box, you can press it to move to the beginning of the first line.

CAUSE

The key combination CTRL+HOME is an edit key combination; therefore, in a list box, the first use (moving to the beginning of the field) has precedence over the second use (moving to the first field in the first record). Because of this, the focus remains in the list box rather than moving to other fields or controls.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
