Accessing a record by its record number

The record number is a simple counter. The first record has the number 1, the tenth 10, etc. The record number of the current record is displayed at the bottom left in the status bar.

You can access a record directly in the database module via its record number.

Simply enter the desired record number in the input field of the command group Navigation. The corresponding record is then opened immediately. (Alternatively: Press the F5 key.)
