I found the same problem. What happens is that pop-up is allowed under the
properties for the field in question. It is very helpful when you want to do
a lookup, i.e. the old <SHIFT><F3> on the old DOS versions. You can define
what the lookup should be and a double click will pop the menu, if you allow
pop-ups but have not defined a lookup, you will get the "DEFINE WHERE" box.
When you have a field that should not have a pop-up, such as when you enter
a quantity or amount, all you have to do is disable the pop-up on the
properties and the problem will disappear. I created a dummy table that has
sequential numbers (1-50) and in one particular application where the user
has to enter a quantity, a double click will pop a sequential list of
numbers (1-50) to choose from, it is handy for users that prefer the mouse
over the keyboard.
I hope this helps.

Subject: Another form problem

Here is a new one on me.

One of my clients has a county roads database into which they enter road
problems (ie. pot holes and the like).  There is one form used for initial
entry as well as editing and it is quite extensive.  They are using the
latest build of RBW65++, build 1.851xRT03.  They upgraded not too long
ago.  The system is being run on several computers running WIN2K, WIN98 and
WINMe.

When moving about the form in edit mode with a mouse, a strange thing
happens.  If you click on a field with information already in it, you
change focus to that field.  If you click again, and it does not have to be
a fast double click, a dialog box comes up with "Define WHERE clause for
popup, press Enter for None:"  If you click CANCEL, it goes away and
everything is fine.  If you click OK or hit a carriage return, the system
freezes.  It takes a CTRL-ALT-DELETE and an END TASK to get out.

This is very disconcerting for the data entry people.

I ran this system on RBW60a and the problem does not exist.

Has anyone encountered this and more to the point been able to correct it?

Joe
