Automatically activate pop-up menu

[Daniel Shanahan]

Within a script I would like to enter a field with a pop-up menu and have it display as if I clicked on the pop-up menu using a mouse. I have tried Go to Field[field name] and Go to Object[object name] but neither have worked.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks.

Goto field [select/perform]

Pop up menu doesn't work for this - a bit of a failing really. I use drop down lists to overcome it, they work fine, albeit I'm still on FM 9. Maybe the new FM 11 script triggers can help.

Thank you for the replies. I changed the pop-ups to drop down lists. The problem with drop downs is that a user can edit it, which allows for the possibility of bad data. So, I validate the field with the appropriate value list and a custom message if it fails validation.
