Edit Menu

Menu Option

Description

Cut, Copy, Paste

Work as they do in other common user access applications.

Clear Field

Clears the contents of the selected field.

Code Lookup

Opens a list of codes valid for the field where the insertion cursor appears. Choosing this command is the same as choosing the Codes button for the field the cursor is in. You can also press F12 to open a codes list.

To use the Code Lookup command in the Edit menu, the cursor must be in a coded field. When you use a Codes button, the cursor can be anywhere on the window. Horizon automatically positions the cursor in the field next to the Codes button selected.

New Subrecord

Displays a new group entry in a group. Selecting New Subrecord is the equivalent of choosing New in a group. (For a description of groups, see the “Horizon User Interface” chapter of the Horizon Basics Guide.)

Delete Subrecord

Deletes the displayed group entry. However, the database is not updated until you save the editing changes. Choosing this command is the same as choosing Delete in a group.

If you accidentally delete the wrong group entry, you can close the main record without saving it, reopen the record, and the “deleted” group entry will be restored. However, closing without saving will cause you to lose any other changes you have made.
