Keyboard navigation tips
F11 > To enter query mode
CTRL+F11 > To query all records. Records can be queried by entering partial data values with ‘%' as the wildcard. For e.g. entering Sog% in a field on a form queries all records starting with ‘Sog'
F6 > to clear the data entered in the form if you find you have made a mistake.
F4 > If you are in query mode(F11) pressing F4 will return you to entry mode. In entry mode pressing F4 will close all forms and return you to the navigator(main menu)
CTRL+F4 > To close the current open form. This is useful when many subforms are open and one needs to return to the base form
