Listbox Popup Menu

[pcgenie]

I'm creating a shortcut menu to popup over my richtext box. Its a form with a listbox of menu items with associated richtext activex (rtf) editing commands. I found a way to transfer a value from the popup menu to the form, but now I have one more step to take. The value being transferred is a public function from a module. I need to find a way to execute the function to edit the text in the richtext field. Download the test database from

and please let me know if this is possible.

Thanks,

I can think of several approaches that I would try. The first might be to have the popup place the name of the function into a public property of the form, then use the Eval function to execute that function.

Good Luck

Thank you, CajunCenturion

I'm not a proficient programmer. If you are able to download my test db, you'll see that I've transferred the value from the popup menu to a unbound field on the main form. Is there a way that I can use the value from that field or do I have to use some other method to transfer the value to a string and use the Eval function? Is it just a few lines of code?

Thanks,
