Steve,

This kinda works: set the RowSource to the name of a defined popup menu, set the RowWourceType to Popup and define the popup like this:

* 04-Aug-98 fixed via KB Q185090 added the , before the color pair
define popup mypop from 0,0 && in screen
define bar 1 of MyPop prompt "Red" color ,rgb(255,0,0,255,255,255)
define bar 2 of MyPop prompt "Blue" color ,rgb(0,0,255,255,255,255)
define bar 3 of MyPop prompt "Green" color ,rgb(0,255,0,255,255,255)
define bar 4 of MyPop prompt "Red2" color ,rgb(255,0,0,0,0,0)
define bar 5 of MyPop prompt "Blue2" color ,rgb(0,0,255,0,0,0)
define bar 6 of MyPop prompt "Green2" color ,rgb(0,255,0,0,0,0)
define bar 7 of MyPop prompt "Green3" color G+/W
define bar 8 of MyPop prompt "Green3-1" color scheme 1
define bar 9 of MyPop prompt "Green3-2" color scheme 2
define bar 10 of MyPop prompt "Green3-3" color scheme 3
define bar 11 of MyPop prompt "Green3-4" color scheme 4
define bar 12 of MyPop prompt "Green3-5" color scheme 5
define bar 13 of MyPop prompt "Red4" color ,rgb(255,0,0)
define bar 14 of MyPop prompt "Blue4" color ,rgb(0,0,255)
define bar 15 of MyPop prompt "Green4" color ,rgb(0,255,0)

This works better in a listbox because you can see the selected color. In a cbo once you've selected a value it will display in the control ForeColor. You'll have to tweak this somehow to maintain your color display.
