Default Too much space between ListBox items

All,

I have a custom Contacts form (Outlook 2003) with a ListBox that gets
populated from an XML file on the local computer every time the form is
loaded (contact opens, new contact).

This works great except the items in the ListBox have too many spaces
between them.

Is there a way to make the items display right next to each other as they
display normally?

Thank you,

Rafael

Default Too much space between ListBox items

Have you tried setting the ColumnWidths property?

I have not Sue.

Is this necessary even though my list consists of only one one column?

Thanks,

Rafael

If your listbox consists of only one column, then what "items in the ListBox [with] too many spaces between them" and "make the items display right next to each other" are you referring to? Do you mean the rows? I've never seen a list box that didn't automatically size the row height to the list box's font.

It's a very strange thing but I've seen this happening on some contacts on a
public folder where I don't have rights to. I'll take a look at the folder
permission which is what I think my issue is.

Thanks!
