 Methods Details
 
 ■ Methods work only when used with forms, controls, or special objects. In
   general, the syntax is:
 
         [form.][object].method
 
 ■ If object is omitted, then the method applies to the current form. If
   included, object can be any of the following:

                          {listbox | combobox}.method
