Right click menu |

| message from John on 14 May 2004 |
Hi
When a user is editing a text field, I would like to allow the user to right
click and view a pop up menu of values taken from a table and when a value
is selected from the popup, the text field is filled with the selected
value. How do I create the pop up menu from a table and how do I get the
selected value from popup into the field?
Thanks
Regards

Any particular reason why you don't use a combo box?

Space is short in the datasheet view and also combos are slightly
distracting when field widths are small.
Thanks

That is fair answer.
You *could* create a right click menu..but then again..that right click menu
would only be used to launch the form that pops up a list to select
from.....so, just create a nice pop up form that displays a nice list......
You can use the on-mouse down event to capture the right click on a
control...
If button = acRightButton Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "youcool pop form"
End Sub
