>>>>>>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 completely agree. I only suggested this because Robert seemed intent on the right click idea.
