Claudine: Tried it your way with the extra left and right parens around each ctxt statement, but made no difference. This was an upgrade from 7.1 to 7.6, and in reviewing the 7.1 popup menu optios, the 7.1 had check box option for 'formatted'. 7.6 does not have this option, or am I missing it. Razzak, are you listening......could that be the difference ? ?

Thanks for the reply, and I just tried your aerial 8 suggestion and still get the wavey lines. My lookup string is: ( LJS(VEN_NAME,25) + ' ' +LJS(VEN_ADDR,25) + ' ' +LJS(VEN_CITY,18) +' '+ LJS(CTXT(VEN_NO),10) ) I'm testing this on a laptop with 7.6, and wonder if that has anything to do with it ???

Arial 8 is another nice one or even Arial Narrow 8...

I do have each item LJS'ed or RJS'ed. In reviewing the pop-up list font field, the 'list font' for the lookup field is MS San Serif. I changed the Pop-up List Font to Courier, and the four columns in the popup are now aligned going straight down, but it a little too 'odd' looking for me (don't like the courier letter look). What seems to be the standard lookup font for pop-up list fonts ? Just trying to arrive at a nice standard looking font. Thanks Jim
