Jim:
Put a row in the model data base listing 'Add New Model'
When the user clicks that, use the exit eep on the field to trap 'Add
New Model' and do whatever you need to do there to enter a new model. We
do it all the time.

While entering orders in the Model field, I give the option for the
entry person to lookup the model with a pop up menu.
They also have the option (by pressing a button next to the model
field) of entering a new model into the proper table so it is
available to use “on the fly”.
This is working fine.
I have tried making the popup automatic. That works except if they
realize they need to add a model because what they are looking for is
not there (such as parts orders, etc.) when they escape they get an
error because no value is picked from the popup.
When using an automatic popup is there a way to suppress the error
message if they do not choose an item?
My purpose is to force them to look carefully first before entering
new models such as parts, but get rid of the error message if they do
have to enter a new model after searching carefully.
