Limitation of Listbox "List" Property in Vfp6

Question

hi,
i am using Visual FoxPro 6.0, I have Material Code Listbox with more than 75000 records and i have given Search Option in it. but i am facing problem when i want to pick Record No. 65001 and Above using Listbox Property LIST or LISTITEM. Vfp is giving error message "Invalid subscript reference" because internally vfp using Array, and Array Size is limited upto 65000.

Can anybody tell me how to read item from listbox beyond 65000 records. I have more than 400 forms which uses global procudure for searching and i want to change in my global procedure and i cannot change listbox with other control. Please suggest me or give me some idea.

You may try to use a grid instead of a listbox...
