it would be possible to create a drop-down list to take fields from an external database or excel file ?tks

perfect thanks

No sorry.I have a text field : text1 If I write in text1 BLACK it must appear a popup that says BLACK ;If I write in text1 YELLOW it must appear a popup that says "  ";If I write in text1 GRENN it must appear a popup that says "  ";So if I write BLACK you must appear a popup that says " BLACK "Tks

I would use the functionxfa.host.messageBox ( "BLACK"" , "MY COLOR", 3 , 1 ) ; to display an Alert message if the text1 field is equal to "BLACK"orto display an Alert message if the text1 field is equal to "YELLOW"orto display an Alert message if the text1 field is equal to "GRREN"Tks
