Thanks to all who responded to my popup form problem.  Some of what you 
said I knew, some I didn't.

I did not know that when you upgraded that popups were enabled in all 
fields in all your forms.  This is definitely not a GLORIOUS feature to 
me.  If a user inadvertently double clicks on a field with a very large 
number of values in it the system appears to go into lockup.  As one of you 
pointed out this is not the case and I have verified this.  It will 
eventually bring up the values.  However, running 256 MB of RAM I get an 
"insufficient memory to continue this function" error and then it will 
bring up the list.  Since I am getting a memory error I assume that rows 
are missing.

Another part of this problem that I find almost as bad is that the popups 
will respond to very slow double clicks regardless of the mouse speed set 
up under Windows.  I have set mine to the fastest double click setting and 
RBW6.5++ will respond to mouse clicks as slow as about 1 second 
apart.  Even though I can type SHOW MOUSE and get the standard setting of 
30 as a response, apparently SET MOUSE has no effect in Windows 
versions.  What I think is happening with my client is that the user is 
clicking anywhere in a field to get there and then clicking again in the 
part of the field they want to be in which brings up the popup.

I was hoping for a magic bullet to do a blanket change of the enable popup 
setting to disabled.  If there is one I haven't found it.  The client who I 
faithfully upgraded to the latest version from 6.0 is not going to be 
thrilled to pay me to fix his forms and I have no desire to eat the cost.

Razzak or Mike please weigh in on this one.  If there is a way to blanket 
change the enable popup I need to know it.  If not, please seriously 
consider making the default popup disabled or give us a way to increase the 
mouse speed so that it will take a deliberate double click to activate the 
popup.

Joe
