>I keep getting "Insufficient Memory" when a popup list tries to display the long list of items (over 350 items) on a fast machine Pentium 150MHZ+. The popup list uses a pre-populated array. A while ago Paul Lee at Abri Technologies found the work-around for List Box but unfortunately this fix cannot be applied to a popup list since there is no hook for me to create a function that can show down FPW.

Hi Quoc-Buu,

Since you and I last discussed this one of our developers added a function call (that does nothing but return the item) in the list box (or popup) that slows it down enough for the list to catch-up with the processing. It seems to work fine.

Of course, I'm off right now to see what www.abri.com has to offer instead of the above-menthioned kludgy thing we're doing... :)
