>I saw program once that had an icon on the side of a data entry box. The user could type in the info such as a number "01" or they could left mouse click on the icon and a box would open a table with the numbers in it such as "01" , "02" etc. The user could then right mouse click on the number and it would appear in the afore mentioned data box. How do you do this?

Without getting into specifics (I'll leave that to you), here are some guidelines:
1. Create a modal form with a listbox or grid to display the available selections from a table.
2. Create a form-level property to hold the return value of the form.
3. Add code to the right-click of the listbox/grid to populate the form-level property.
4. In the Unload event of the form, issue a return THIS.FormProperty to return the value.
5. Add code to the click event of the icon to launch a modal form and retrieve a value.
6. Populate the textbox with the returned value.

To better encapsulate this, you could create a container class with a textbox and icon button because the two are so dependent on one another.
