Currently, I don't use vfp3b. I just went back to an old project to give you some help.

>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()
