Need lookup button without a field

[Rene Simons]

Hi,
I would like to place a lookup button with lookup functionality on a form, but I don't need a field to go with it.
I have temporarily resolved this by using an entry field of 1 char which has a lookup function.
The field is a dummy field which is set as value field and description field in the lookup settings.
I also I blank it out in the "more assignments" section.

There is a relation between the file in the popup and the file in the update form browse.
As soon I check/uincheck a check box, the result shows in the browse "under" the popup. Nice!!

All I want now is to get rid of the dummy field.Conditioning does not help because the lookup button has the same condition as the field.

The result can be seen in the pics below.

It seems to me that you don't really want a "lookup" - you want a button which just calls a popup (browse, or mem form or whatever).

Geoff mentioned this to me as well, and it's something I'll be adding.

Any progress on this?

not yet. It'll come after the calendar stuff is finished.

You could create a dummy field and give it a class like this -
.NoShow {
  visibility: hidden;
/* optional other stuff -  height: 1em;
  width: 1em;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0px;
  left: 0px */
}
