3.8. Search - [F2] and [Alt][F2]

Some fields offer a pop-up list of choices for that field. The list is accessed by pressing the [F2] key when the cursor is on that field. The list is presented on the screen, within its own box with the highlight on the first item.

Most of the fields that offer a pop-up list of choices (above) also offer an alternative lookup facility. By pressing [Alt][F2] a word search pop-up will appear enabling you to find records by words contained in the description or name. This facility enables you to find Debtors, Creditors or G/L Accounts by name or by a word contained in the name. It also is available for Stock records enabling word search in the product description.

The highlight can be moved through the list by using the [up-arrow] or [down-arrow] keys. To select the currently highlighted entry press [Enter]. If you want to exit without a choice, press [Esc].

The list may contain more entries than the box can show. [PgDn] will show further choices. [PgUp] can be used to move the list up a page at a time.
