- I have had the same problem. That would be a nice functionality to have. But
- I can see that dBASE would have problems trying to define a popup from a
- complete database, and there could be memory problems when the database size is
- large. To work around the problem in my shop, we use the BROWSE command with
- some ON KEY LABELs then put it in window to look like a popup. And we then
- disable the F10 key so people don't think it is a BROWSE.
-
- I hope I helped.
