Hi Jez, Let's say you're going for the following: - database field value 1 <=> "Pink" - database field value 2 <=> "Blue" - database field value 3 <=> "Yellow" - database field value 4 <=> "Black" Try an option menu ; set its text to : Pink Blue Yellow Black Now use the inspector palette to link it to a query. When you go through the records, the option menu will be updated with the correct label. If you also check the "Update after editing" checkbox in the "Database panel", then picking another item will automatically result in an updtae in the database. Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time." (La Rochefoucauld) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
