>NO - This POPUP GRID will be a lookup table for the entire GRID and not record specific. A field on the GRID needs a number and the only way to get this number is to look it up through POPUP windows. The first window will be STATE (you pick your STATE) then CITY, etc.. After you find your CITY, the number from the lookup table will be inserted into the number field in a COLUMN in the GRID. I do not need a DROPDOWN COMBO off one of the COLUMNS.

I think that 2-column (state+city) combobox would be a nice solution. If you for some reason don't like it, you could put command button into grid cell and open another modal form from its click event.
