Scott,

As John said in his answer to you, filePro may not have thought that the
screen needed to be refreshed after your show popup.

Show does not require a screen refresh to display.

As for msgbox, it displays a message and stops processing until a key is
pressed.  You might use a message box if incorrect data is entered in to
field such as msgbox "You have entered a Phone # in the address
field";SCREEN  ,5.  Msgbox may also accept key stokes in answer to the
message. Also, once the message box has been answered, it closes.  SHOW
popup will stay up until processing hits a CLEARS to take down the popup.
