Is there a way to have a menu pop up when a right mouse click is executed on a field when the field does not exist in a grid? Thanks.!!!

How do you right-click on a field that doesn't exist?

That would be a great trick for sure. But the field does exist, it just does not exist 'in a grid'. It is just placed on the form. Thanks.!!

This is not going to be as simple as it is in a grid.

You could possibly handle this with some JavaScript code. The onclick event will fire for a right-click, and you'll need to interrogate the event properties to determine if it's a right-click or a left-click.

You would need to have a hidden menu that you dynamically show by moving the menu (changing it's left/top properties) and unhiding it. Then, you would have to hide it again after a menu item was taken, or when the user clicks somewhere else outside of the menu, etc.
