Hi Terry,

I'm guessing that you want to use only right mouse button to get to
the popup? Because the "if theButton = 3 then" line restricts this to
right button only.

However if the problem is in the popup itself, check the
menuMouseButton property. I think it is best to set this to 0 in order
to get any button to work.

HTH,
Sarah
