I will try what you suggest, thank you and good luck with vfp3b...
>'Changenameid' is some custom form's method which makes some action based on popup selection. I just copied this code from one my project.

>>I understand what you make in the init event of the form
>>and after in the grid.column.textbox, but could you explain what
>>this line do :
>>on selection popup popNames1 frsMain.frmNames.changenameid()
>>I mean this part : frsMain.frmNames.changenameid()
>>
>>>It works in 3b in slightly different way:
>>>*** Form.Init event
>>>*** prepare right-click menu
>>>define popup popNames1 margin color scheme 4
>>>define bar 1 of popNames1 prompt 'Artist'
>>>define bar 2 of popNames1 prompt 'Creator'
>>>define bar 3 of popNames1 prompt 'Publisher'
>>>define bar 4 of popNames1 prompt 'Unknown'
>>>on selection popup popNames1 frsMain.frmNames.changenameid()
>>>*** grid.column.textbox.rightclick
>>>activate popup popNames1 at mrow(),mcol()
>>>
