Using F-keys in Vista

Created by Jess Miller, Modified on Fri, 22 Mar, 2024 at 7:36 AM by Jess Miller

Vista has several handy keyboard shortcuts that use the F-keys

F-Key Shortcuts

F1 Context Sensitive Help 
F3 Field Properties 
F4 Field Lookup 
F5 Jump to Field's Setup Form 



My F-Keys Don't Work!

If these F-Key Shortcuts are not working, Look for a F-Lock button on your keyboard.

If your keyboard has a Fn button, you can try holding that down and pressing the F-Keys

If you are on a Mac, open System Preferences, click Keyboard and select "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys"
