Thanks, Janie, for the thought. Turns out that was the problem. I had a button with a label that was 62 characters long. That idea came to me earlier today, but I dismissed it because I thought, "Nahhhhh...couldn't be...I know for a fact that I don't have a label that will make the menu stretch out that far!" Evidently, though, having a control with a label that exceeds a certain length makes the menu stretch to infinity. Interesting. I would call that a bug.
I wonder if Doug is reading this... ________________________________ From: Kaiser Norm E CIV USAF 96 CS/SCCE Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2007 4:37 PM To: 'arslist@ARSLIST.ORG' Subject: RE: Find Field DropDown in 6.3 Admin Tool Yeah, I was thinking about that...but for crying out loud!

I have List Box selected. This is a different problem. I'm referring to the Find Fields field on the toolbar. ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chapman, Colin Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2007 3:05 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Find Field DropDown in 6.3 Admin Tool Norm - sounds like you got the Popup menu instead of the List Box (Im on 7.0.01) Check by going to File-Prereferences-Display tab I had same problem - use List Box instead of Popup Menu.

Now when you click the dropdown, the menu expands itself to the full width of the available screen space, pushing the vertical scrollbar off the screen...actually I can't see the vertical scrollbar at all so I'm only assuming one exists at all. In the older Admin tools, when you clicked the dropdown arrow, the menu was only about two inches wide and the vertical scrollbar was perfectly accessible. So if you had lots of fields on a form you could easily grab the scrollbar and slide up and down until you found the one you're looking for. Now you can't do that. It's entirely annoying. I think they tried to fix a problem of the field name and ID number not being displayed within the smaller menu space by making it wider, but they went too far! Is there a fix? I'm running the patch 20 of the 6.3 Admin tool.
