Hi Gene:

    Yes, I think you may have missed that I wanted the 2-char 'WA' returned, 
and not the word 'Washington' displayed on the screen after selection.  I 
have a 2-char field for 'region' and I'm crowded left and right and up and 
down for landscape room

    But,. Michael Haufe has given me some sample code to look at and chew 
on, and now my head is 'abuzz' with more new ideas about this 'crowding' 
problem

Thanks for the response !
