Creating a 'picker' layout

[David Jondreau]

Can anyone direct me to instructions on building a 'picker' layout? I've got a data entry layout and want the user to choose a client's name from a list and have that client's id entered.

There's a couple hundred clients to choose from, so a drop down or pop up is too unwieldy. I'm not sure where to start.

Thanks,

DJ

Try using a popup window with a list of available selections instead.
