Why are colors changing in ListBox?

[kleaverjr]

Listboxes are intended to show a list and highlight the selected row so the user knows which row is selected. It is just the way they work and there is nothing you can do about it. Change to a combo or spinner control as WGM suggests

I don't see it listed under the Controls for Access 2013 unless I don't have some kind of option selected that gives me that kind of control. :-\

The spinner control is one of the built-in ActiveX controls - Microsoft Forms 2.0 SpinButton

That is a listbox, just reduced in vertical size to one row.
To clear the white-on-black (which is simply the selected row), add this sub to the form:

Private Sub lstbxManualEntryItemQty_AfterUpdate()
    Me.lstbxManualEntryItemQty = ""
End Sub

problem with that is the listbox now does not have a value - it might be displaying something, but multiply by the price - what do you get?

Roll you own with a couple of buttons and a textbox.

Well, you gotta do what needs be done with the selection before the unselection.
