   Another way to approach this is to call a dialog form you design yourself,   
   rather than use the built-in lookup. You've already discovered one reason   
   to do this. Here's another, even better, reason: the path to the lookup   
   table is hard-coded in the table structure. If you ever change a directory   
   or drive, your table won't open. In Version 8, I've had this cause table   
   corruption and had to restore from a backup. (In later versions, moving   
   everything to the old locations worked, but not V8.)
