Just playing around trying different options and I thin it may be as simple as:
on openCard put revDataFromQuery(tab, return, the uDB of stack "THFinancials", "select categoryName from 'categoryList' order by categoryName asc") into tCatNames set the text of cd btn "CategoryMenu" to tCatNames set the menuHistory of cd btn "CategoryMenu" to 1 send "menuPick " & line 1 of tCatNames to cd btn "CategoryMenu" end openCard Ensuring that you set the menuHistory BEFORE send “menuPick”. My wife's on my back, as we are going out soon but on first try I think this is it. If it is a note in the Docs would be a good thing. All the best Terry _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
