---

There are two buttons, shown in Table 12, that launch selection dialog boxes.

Table 12.  Select Buttons

Button	Name
	Single select button, launches a single selection dialog box.
	Multiple select button, launches a multiple selection dialog box.

Single selection dialog boxes. Single selection dialog boxes allow you to add a maximum of one record to a field. In some cases you can create a new record from the single selection dialog box.

Multiple selection dialog boxes. Multiple selection dialog boxes allow you to add more than one record to a field. In some cases you can create new records from the multiple selection dialog box. In some cases you can launch a shuttle applet to add existing records to the multiple selection dialog box.

Shuttle applet. Shuttle applets allow you to select a number of records and add them to a multiple selection dialog box. Shuttle applets can be launched from multiple selection dialog boxes by clicking New. An example of a shuttle applet is shown in Figure 23.

NOTE:  To select records in selection dialog boxes you can double-click, press ENTER on your keyboard, or click OK.
