1. window & picklist problem

I have a window with a pick list which I would like to use multiple times
within the main window. ( it is to look up gl accounts to distribute invoice
totals to different accounts). There are 6 text fields each of which has a
button beside to search for the appropriate gl account. If I use the routine
only once (in another program) it works fine. Trying to use it multiple
times I get a blank window with no buttons and no list of items showing up.
I have checked the ID's and they seem to be correct. Am I way off base that
you can't do this?

Here's a sample of the item

  pickField[fldCount] = {pickWindow,routine_id("pickGLaccount")}    -- save
info here
  idTemp = create(List,"",pickWindow,0,0,420,200,#82)
  setFont(idTemp,"Courier New",8,Normal)
  pickIndex[fldCount] =
                  -- save the id for use at another field
  pkOk = create(Button,"OK",pickWindow,150,205,50,25,0)
  onClick[pkOk] = routine_id("getPickItem")
  pkCancel = create(Button,"Cancel",pickWindow,200,205,50,25,0)
  onClick[pkCancel] = routine_id("exitItem")
 end if

I've spend 2 days trying to solve this. any ideas what i should look for. It
behaves like the id's for the buttons and List are wrong, but they look
correct.
