Keyboard Shortcuts and Useful Functions

Overview

  • SEOM has some built-in key combination shortcuts to perform some routine functions.

  • Below is a chart of the shortcuts and the location within the program where they can be used. Be aware that some key combinations perform very different functions on different screens or in different versions of the program, so please take note of the location and version information that is provided in the chart.

List of Shortcuts

Shortcut Location What It Does
F1 Almost Everywhere Online Help: Select a control on any form throughout the program.  Click F1, and a browser window will open and take you directly to the relevant Knowledge Base article for the form.
CTRL+Shift+B Main Menu Break Mode:  Toggles “Break Mode” on and off.  This function is crucial for debugging an error.  “Break Mode” allows the code to stop at the exact line of code that is causing an error instead of jumping to an error trap.
CTRL+Shift+C Main Menu Connection Information:  Shows “Connection Information”.  Useful if you are uncertain of the exact location and name of your data file, new orders and data archives folders, custom reports database, and more.
CTRL+Shift+C Process Orders and AVO Company Information
CTRL+Shift+D Main Menu Open Data File:  Instantly closes SEOM and opens your store’s data file. Note: This shortcut may not work for some versions of MS Access. It also does not apply to SQL data files.
CTRL+Shift+L Main Menu Clear Links:  Clears all links in the program file that are linked from external tables.  Restores linked tables back to the program defaults.  Use if experiencing inconsistent data or if you have moved or reinstalled SEOM.  Restart the Program after using this.
