Right click menu

[news.dsl.pipex.com]

Hi

When a user is editing a text field, I would like to allow the user to right
click and view a pop up menu of values taken from a table and when a value
is selected from the popup, the text field is filled with the selected
value. How do I create the pop up menu from a table and how do I get the
selected value from popup into the field?

Thanks

Regards

Is there a reason you can't/don't want to use a combo box in this
situation?

Otherwise, I'd recommend using a combo box; that way there's no
right-clicking, and it does everything else you mention and more.

Space is short in the datasheet view and also combos are slightly
distracting when field widths are small.

Thanks
