Default Access Form listbox - need to enable

I created a listbox using the wizard and it is populated, but I can not
select anything. I set enable to TRUE but I still can not select anything.
Am I missing something here?

Default Access Form listbox - need to enable

The primary reason that a combobox/listbox cannot have a selection made is
the the form it sits on is not updatable. The form's AllowEdits is set to No
(either thru the Property Sheet or thru code) or the underlying query that
the form is based on is not updatable. Can you, in fact, edit other fields on
the form?
