Help - Button Menu Question??

[Ralph R. Forehand]

Jan, Alain and Frank,

THANK YOU very much for your helpful suggestions. They do work for setting the pull down buttons items from OUTSIDE the button's script.

But what I'm really trying to do is change the button's items from INSIDE the button's script i.e. Each time the button is clicked a new list of items is displayed based on a string (of list items) from a Global Variable.

I certainly can utilize your suggestions using a second "list actuating" button as a work around - but I would prefer to avoid that.

Thanks again for your responses and they were helpful. I'll keep looking for a single button approach.

TAKE CARE,
Ralph
