That's what I finally figured out. Now my drop down list looks great! Unfortunately, since it was just a single FIELD before, I could then go right to the recno() identified by double-clicking the list item. How do I extract the data selected in the drop down list so I can go the the right recno() of my (lookup) table. How do I identify which element of the list/array was picked? I hope I'm making myself clear? I can't seem to find much in any of my books on the list(dropdown) function.
I'm sorry if I sound like a cry-baby. Some days we all need some hand-holding. Maybe what I need is a little head-slapping.

>Do select into an array and use that array as the source of the list.

 Select field1 + " | " + Select field2 + " | " + ... ;
>  FROM mytable INTO ARRAY myarray

There's only FROM array; popup, files, field, dbf structure. I haven't been able to get any of these items to take a variable. Could you please tell me the secret?

>>>You've to concatenate the fields into one string and use it in the popup. Don't forget to use non-proportional font for that popup.

Select field1 + " | " + Select field2 + " | " + ...
