But you can do this all RIGHT NOW.

Where you see problems?

Table -- have CURRENT RECORD.
    to get its RecID you do
    
            recid = VTable.RecID

I do not see any problems Paolo.

-------
Btw, in REALbasic popup menu can have hidden column where it is possible to
put recIDs when you fill menu. Later extract RecId of choice.
