>i want to implement a glossary into my app. The basic idea is that I want to have a table with definitions for certain words. Then, when I have text in a textbox, I want to highlight words if they are in the table, and when the user clicks on them a pre-set form will pop-up.

Since there's no way to underline some text in a textbox, you probably need to use the RTF control to do this. Take a look at an article by Rick Hodder in the April, 2004 issue of FoxPro Advisor. It should give you some good ideas about how to do what you want.
