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? Karen
