I did ask a month or so back where the best place for 4D questions was and
somebody suggested Compuserve. Alas, I haven't a clue how to get the news
from that (and I certainly can't afford any money!). So this is a quick
4D question and maybe any 4D people out there who could help me in the 
future would like to drop me a line (I shall try not to bother you too much honest!)

In the database IO am creating I often need to show a list of all current 
supplier names (or customer names) and display them in a popup menu. What
I would like to do is let them select via the pop up menu and then just have the
menu showing the selection they have made and writing the supplier number
back to the file. 

I have written some routines to do this but they seem a little buggy ...
they work sometimes - and I can not get the popup menu to stick on the
item they have selected the next time they go into it. an anyone help (or
point me in the right direction in the manual) - many thanks

Thanks to one and all

Ian
