Unable to make selection is list box

I have list boxes on my form but I am unable to click on them. When I do
click a light box appears around the selection but it doesnt go black as a
regular selection would. What can I do? Thank you!

One thing you may want to check is that the "Locked" property on the Data
tab is set to No.

Click to expand...

More information please!

What is the Control Source of the listbox? Is the Form updateable
(i.e. what is its Recordsource property, and if you open that
Recordsource as a query do you see the "new record" row)? Does the
form allow updating?

sorry fellas, a bit of a novice! I didnt want people to alter the data in the
form so i turned the 'allow edits' in the form properties off. Turning it
back on made the boxes selectable. Thanks.
