>>Yes you can setup a Toolbar List for a form by setting the some properties in the form. Assuming you are working with VPME 9.1.12, Look in the VPME Technical Reference manual on page 133 "Form_Toolbar Class Properties and Methods" and review the following properties:

>>cListCaptions
>>cListFields
>>cListTags
>>lAllowList
>>nListRows (can be left at 0)
>>nListWidth (can be left at 0)

>I'm having another problem with Unbound textbox. I want to display description rather than ID. I set up two corresponding properties (lLookupDescription and cLookupExpression) but I still see number instead of the description in the textbox. Is there a way to show descriptions for unbound textbox?
Yes you can but it is a little confusing and without the VPM front end you are going to keep having problems. Review page 413 "Defining Data Dictionary Properties for Non-Data Controls" in the Users Guide, I think that is what you want to do.
The good news is that everything in VPM is VFP code, no secret stuff. I do not have time now to help anymore today and I am on vacation for the next month starting tomorrow. Hopefully you can get someone else to help.
Good Luck,
Dennis
