Thanks
Your post gave me the right idea.

I set:
columncount=3
bound column=1
Then did
rowsource="select text,point,text from popups into cursor cpopup"
columnwidth=0,20,300

This way the text column worked properly as the popup although it was shown as the second field in the rowsource.

Thanks.

>set your bound column count to 2. then set your column widths to 0,100 or whatever size you need the second column will be the one in view. This would show the contents of column 2. you can set the bound column to whichever is needed
