[AccessD] Form hangs when setting listbox selected index

It's a conflict in events, but I don't have an explanation -- can pinpoint
it for you exactly. When I moved the selection to the control's Got Focus
event or the Form's Load event, it worked fine. You're right though -- I had
no problem re-creating the problem. 

Load should work just as well as open -- for the most part.

Actually, I need not set the data source of the listbox control with VB code
at all, which suggests that I am misunderstanding something fundamental.
Here is the simplest possible case I can find:

1. Create a blank database.
2. Create a single table Table1, with a single TEXT(50) field field1.  I
chose not to make any primary key on this test table, in case it matters.
3. Insert three rows into the table, with text "A", "B", "C".
4. Create a single form Form1 in Design view.
5. Insert a listbox control List0 onto the form; cancel out of the wizard.
6. Set the control's RowSource property to be "Table1".
7. Add the following event handler:
    Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
        Me!List0.Selected(0) = True
    End Sub

Now, when the form is saved, closed, and opened in Form view, and I click on
the listbox List0, the dotted focus box does not appear and the selection
does not change.  In fact, the form becomes completely unresponsive, as can
be verified by adding more controls to it.

Column Heads is set to No, but changing it to Yes does not alter the
problem.  The problem still occurs if the index 0 is replaced by 1 or 2.
