I'm not sure if a pop-up blocker would be a problem or not. Are you publishing to HTML or to an executable? That would make one difference. The big thing is that I suggest you create a mini-project with the pop-up and try it out on your network.I agree with merceg that pop-ups are the way to go. It gives users control over having certain windows open for reference.If you have to have multiple text boxes, then I'm afraid you'd have to run those numerous actions. But, you can shorten it. Put each text box inside a group. Call that group Popups. When a key is pressed, you have two actions go off:Hide the Popups GroupShow the one text boxThat way, it hides all of the elements within that group. If it's too convoluted, there may be some lag where the item displays and then is hidden as the group hides. In that case, I suggest a 0.3-second delay between actions. You might not need to do this.Kevin
