= SUMMARY =

The Works Database module does not have a predefined key combination that allows you to scroll through a database in form view. To create a key combination that will allow you to scroll through a Works database when it’s in form view:

  From the Macro menu, choose Macros On.   From the Macro menu, choose Start Recording.   In the Start Recording box under key, type the key you want to use to access the macro. (You will use this key along with the OPTION key to access your macro.) In the box under Description Of New Macro, type a description of the macro.   Choose the Record button.   Click the down arrow at the bottom of the scroll bar. Note: The arrow will not be visible unless your document contains more than one screenful of data.   From the Macro menu, choose Stop Recording.   When Works prompts you with the Currently Recording dialog box, choose the Stop button. 

To play back your macro, press OPTION+, where is the key that you specified in step 3.

To record a macro for scrolling up through the document, repeat steps 2-6 (in step 4, choose the up arrow instead of the down arrow).
