Cathi,
Thank you very much for the suggestion and for the message with code. I will try it vs a dropdown, as Bonnie suggested.
If I may ask you something else. I am new to UT and was wondering, how did you get the message # for the subject? You can't possibly remember it all. Or maybe you can <g>.

>>For example, in a Web Form for creating invoice, you have to enter/select the vendor. In Windows application this is done by a lookup button next to the Vendor textbox and a pop up of vendor table grid in a separate window.

>>In a web form this would require a new webform with vendor table DataGrid to be displayed, where user can select a vendor and return to the Invoice web form.
>>But it takes time to load a new web form on every vendor selection.

>>Any suggestions? Any white papers or examples I can download showing "more efficient" ways of doing look up in web forms.

>>TIA.
