Thanks,

Unless you have a LiveCycle Server setup that supports Form Guides, you can't create a popup that displays a data grid, or anything like it. Or at least not easily. In Acrobat JavaScript it is possible to dynamically build a popup dialog box that you could make look like a data grid. But I don't think this would be very efficient.

A better strategy is to write JavaScript code that walks the rows in the DB and displays the row data in repeated subforms on the LiveCycle form itself. You could put the whole thing in a subform that's colaspable. This is kind of like a popup.

You can find sample code for walking the rows in a DB in the initialize script for the "Data Drop-Down" component on the "Custom" library tab.

Thanks Parker for your quicker reply.

I don't know where is the custom library tab & didn't find the sample code.
Please let me know the path where it is exactly.

There are several video tutorials (eSeminars) on using LiveCycle designer on this site.
