Razzak, A good suggestion, but unfortunately I am not able to connect these examples anymore. Incompatible format is the result if try to open these databases. Did I miss an update?

Tony, On your Super Advanced Training Sample Applications USB drive that you received during the last SAT Training in Switzerland, take a look at the following application. \ImplementingDBGridColumnPopupMenusAndHintExpressions Application: Implementing DBGrid Column Popup Menus and Hint Expressions Database: DBGridPH (7.6, Turbo V-8, R:BASE eXtreme 9.0 (32/64) Associated Forms: DBGridPopupHint_01 (DB Grid Column Properties - Hint Expressions) DBGridPopupHint_02 (DB Grid Column Properties - Popup Menus and Hint Expressions) This application demonstrates the use of exact features you are looking to implement in your application. Have fun exploring these features and the technique to implement such options. Very Best R:egards, Razzak. __________ Informatie van ESET NOD32 Antivirus, versie van database viruskenmerken 4888 (20100222) __________ Het bericht is gecontroleerd door ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Informatie van ESET NOD32 Antivirus, versie van database viruskenmerken 4888 (20100222) __________ Het bericht is gecontroleerd door ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
