	Var Str1 as string Var Str2 as string Str1 = @Xlistvalues(@fn,"Assets!Asset_Number") //Writeln(Str1) Str2 = @PopupMenu(Str1, "Choose Asset Number")//This Line is not working? I copied this code out of the programmer's guide page 88, a box pops up in the top right corner of the screen that says "Choose Asset Number" but I donot get the list of values. If I uncomment the Writeln, the slate pops up with the values. I know I'm missing something simple, but what ??

Try it this way: Code Asset_Number = @PopupMenu(Str1, "Choose Asset Number")

	Uncomment the writeln that prints Str1. Also check @Error to see if your XListValues call is correct. Do you have "Assets!Asset_Number" in the current application?

	Var Str1 as string Var Str2 as string Str1 = @Xlistvalues(@fn,"Assets!Asset_Number") Writeln(Str1) Str2 = @PopupMenu(Str1, "Choose Asset Number") Writeln(Str2) With the above code I get the little popup in the top right corner of the screen "Choose Asset Number" Then I get two Writeln Windows with the values. And Assets!Asset_Number is in this database, I have double checked all the spelling and element names.

	Take a careful a look at the list of values in the writeln window. If the values are there and okay, there aren't very many other points of failure. Make sure they are properly separated and do not contain slashes or other special characters.

	I don't think dashes should be a problem. But a popup menu with 3000 items is almost certainly a problem.

	I copied and pasted all the values into a combo box, Sesame slowed down to a crawl. I'll have to skin that cat a different way.

	Dragging 3000 list items around is going to slow anything down pretty thoroughly. Normally in this case, prefiltering the list by having the user type the first letter or two works pretty well. Would you like an example of this? If you get Inside Sesame, I wrote this technique up recently.

	Proudpoppy, You probably know about the PopupSelectPosition( ) command, however I thought I would mention this just incase you overlooked its capabilities. Adding PopupSelectPosition(4, @XPos(YOUR ELEMENT), @YPos(YOUR ELEMENT) ) to your command will make your popup menu pop up from your triggering element so it will be more noticeable to the user. � You could use the @elementname( ) command as part of the above to make �it work generically from any element it was called from. Check out page 200 & 201 in the 1.1 programming guide if you need to place the popup in other desired positions. Best of luck with your project. �

But any and all suggestions are appreciated !!
