I have a table, let's call it A, with about 20 fields in it. One of the fields in table A is called: cost of widgets. In sqlforms30, I need to allow a user to put his/her cursor in the cost of widgets field of a form & have this trigger a pop-up window called Widgets. In this pop-up form, the user will see something like this:

  Kind of Widget          Cost

_______ ____
_______ ____
_______ ____

There could be a really huge number of widgets for him/her to enter. When the user is finished entering widgets on this screen, he/she hits enter or accept & it returns to the cost of widgets field on the original screen. The sum of the costs from the pop-up window is automatically entered in the cost of widgets field and the user can't change this info unless he/she goes back to the pop-up window. How can this be done in sqlforms?

Thanks,
