Pop-up lookups are very similar to background lookups, except that PerfectApps provides a dialog that allows a user to search in a table.
The process for a pop-up lookup is very similar to the steps described in the Background Lookup topic, but instead of using a Connect command, use the Connect and Search command.
In the Send Parameters section, use the Search checkboxes to specify which fields, if any, you would like to allow the user to search.
In the Return Parameters section, use the Show check-boxes to specify which fields of data to show in the search dialogue box.
Enter a Title and a Message to show in the search dialogue box.

Also see the Defining Connection Actions topic for more information on how to set up the action on the connection that will perform the look-up.
