ok, if I had paid attention I'd have seen you say listview and not listbox.
still, the idea I had is that no item may be selected by default.  so I
looked at the manual for listview controls, and then line below might work
for a listview:

If dObj.Control("lvResults").Items.Count > 0 Then
dObj.Control("lvResults").Items(1).focused = true
 
hth,

I must be off a step, and my scripting manual won't currently open.

If dObj.Control("lvResults").Items.Count > 0 Then
dObj.Control("lvResults").Items.FocusedIndex = 1
