I find when you use a different color, the operator knows that there is
a lookup field

Another consultant and I are having a conversation about how
best to indicate on a form whether there is a popup available. Back
in DOS days, a help message "press <whatever> for popup list"
was noticeable enough. In windows I don't like depending on Hints
because they don't help unless you're hovering over the field.
I've used a bunch of different methods.
*1. Make the field background a different color*
2. Put an indicator after the label, like: Account >>
3. Put a graphic, like an arrow, by the field or label.
What do you all do to indicate a popup menu?
