Don't forget to always do a movecurrent before you read the value of the text. 
Perhaps that will help. Did you do that. I got caught quite a few times till 
I was meticulous about it.

BTW contrary to what someone said on a previous post  (I think, apologies to 
the writer if my memory is wrong) , the _Selected and _Click events do 
different thinks.

 If you move up and down a list the _Selected event always fires but the Click 
doesn't. You can move your internal cursor to the .movecurrent during the 
_selected event, that way if the user does click on it, it will get the 
correct value.

Hope this isnt too confusing.
