Value list keeps popping up

Featured Replies

I've attached a value list to a global field on a data entry screen. A click in the field displays the value list. A click on the value enters the value into the field, BUT the pop-up list re displays. It keeps doing this until I click somewhere other than the list. Is this normal behavior?

I would like the list to close after a selection is made.

Thanks.

Is this the only field on the layout? Or is it the only field in the Tab Order? If so add another field to the layout and to tab order. Make this field a normal field, i.e., not a pop-up. Move it off to a corner. Make this field as small as posible, 1X1 pixels. Make the text size for this the same size.

I understand! You were correct about it being the only field on the layout. It wasn't originally, so it was working as desired until I removed other fields.

I see that FileMaker tabs to the NEXT FIELD on the layout once you make a selection from the pop-up. With another "small" field on the layout, the 1st field's pop-up will close.

THANK YOU Ralph !
