Moving around the data
Moving around the data
If there is more data in the table than can be displayed in the window at one time, sliders will appear. Using the sliders, you can enlarge the table or scroll to a part of the data that is not directly visible due to the dimensions of the window.
If you click inside the table, you can also use the keyboard to move around. Keyboard commands are:
| Page Down |
Move one side down. |
| Page Up |
Move one side up. |
| Direction key - Down |
Shift cursor one line down. |
| Direction key - Up |
Shift cursor one line up. |
| Direction key - Left |
Move the cursor one box to the left. |
| Direction key - Right |
Move the cursor one box to the right. |
| Home |
Place the cursor at the beginning of the record. |
| End |
Place the cursor at the end of the record. |
| Tab |
Place the cursor in the next field in the table. |
| Ctrl + Home |
Place the cursor on the first record in the data table. |
| Ctrl + End |
Place the cursor on the last record in the data table.
|
| Enter |
Scroll between cells. |

WARNING
Sliders are just one way of moving around the databases and are only used where the data is viewed in tabular form. Tables are limited to displaying a small amount of data, so most of the time the data is viewed as a form. In this case, we use navigation buttons, which are always located in the middle of each window.
