Hi Keith.

Thanks for your reply.

What I'm looking for is a 'Lookup List' of say Account Number, Name and address, which the user then selects from to populate a Customer No. field.

My query was how to do this ine a Web Form , and is this done at load of the page time, or as in noraml Forms, when yiu say Hit F4 to do a lookup.

Regards,
Gerard

>>>Gerard, this can be done on a web form but it will require a lot of javascript along with the server-side code. Using an iframe, you can trigger a popup web browser window with the javascript:onClick event, or you can make a second web request (or web service request) from the onClick event, retrieve the grid, then manually re-arrange the exising content and insert the grid's HTML.
