Populating a pop-list with a coloumn from a table, on Forms 4.0

[Quoted] I want to have the entries from a coloumn in a table populate a pop-list. It doesn't sound that difficult.......

1. I've made a record group with two columns that are the same.
2. I've placed a list down on the form.

I think i need to create a trigger to execute "populate_list", but all the triggers that I've tried have not worked. This is the layout of the trigger i have been using:

Declare

	list_id		Item := Find_Item('the_list');
	recgrp_id	RecordGroup := Find_Group('the_recgrp');
Begin
	do_key( 'Populate_List(list_id, recgrp_id)' );

If I attach this text to a when-button-pressed trigger, in run-time i get the message:

                FRM-41004: Function key not allowed in this mode.

If I remove do_key from the trigger i get this message if i compile the text

                Error 313 Populate_list not declared in this scope.

So, how do i get the values form the record group into the pop-list?
