You Can Easily Put a Menu In the GETs of a Dialog Box by Entering @MENU:{...} in the Builder Picture Field. Access to a Memo Field is Just as Simple, Enter @MEMO Into the Builder Picture Field When Creating the Dialog Box. (@DROPDOWN and @MENU are Only Available to Clipper 5.x Style Code) If the GET Variable Field Has a Corresponding Data Dictionary Entry, the Variable Will be Scoped if It is a Memory Variable, or Not Scoped if It is the Memory Variable Associated With a Field Variable.
