Hi Naomi.Thanks for your reply.
The basic idea is to have a POPUP facility, but this would not be a fixed control on the form.
If there was something like an InputBOX with a few options on it, and select one.. that would be ideal !!..does such a control exist ?



Regards,
Gerard

>>Not quite sure what you mean by "in a command button" etc. but, if you mean that the pressing of the command button changes the options in the listbox then iyt's a simple matter to have a form method that programmatically sets the listbox's RowSource, RowSourceType, etc.
