>I want to call a password entry form when a menu item is clicked and enable or disable the popup depending on the result.. I thought that "on selection pad" calling a password form would do this for me but it is ignored. I have placed it between define and activate as required. Any hints as to the normal process to achieve this might be.

If you have ON PAD, that takes precedence over ON SELECTION PAD. You can't have both. Try putting your action in ON PAD and having that code do the activation of the popup.
