Bob, I think you want OBJECT get data source <http://doc.4d.com/4Dv17/4D/17/OBJECT-Get-data-source.301-3730453.en.html>. It will return a pointer and then you can user RESOLVE POINTER to figure it out.
Note: this isn't a complete solution if you are associating the listbox with a collection or object as you an do in v17 ( and probably v16r something). In those cases it returns Nil and I'm not sure they have thought of a way of informing us what the source is. In a way it doesn't matter in this instance since you couldn't manipulate the source by manipulating the listbox object anyway but it would still be nice to be able to know.
