So the only solution up to know is to create the popup thru code in the memo and then call it, it's basically a form with a combobox where they can choose a store and it will filter on that store, never done that but I imagine I can recreate the form with all the code (mainly in the combobox)?

I mean, I tried this and I got the form to run, but the environment in which the form runs may be weird - if it depends on something from within the app, it may not be accessible, unless it's a global and already instantiated; if it has any createobject() in it, it may break.

Thanks Dragan, I'll give that a shot!
