Hi Ken,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried what you suggested and put in "pushkey "u";end."  It worked, but up 
popped Enter "Index Search Data" that I am trying to avoid.  I want to have 
the screen show an input popup, such as:

input popup ("5","5") na "To Add A New Shipmate Enter 3 OR 4 Letters Of 
Last Name"

How do I not use the filepro input popups?
