Below is a list of keyboard shortcuts that you can use throughout the Order Manger. 

Take note of the location which these can be performed.

 

Shortcut Location What It Does

CTRL+Shift+B Main Menu
Maintenance Menu

CTRL+Shift+D Main Menu

Fixup (The Magic Function!):  Compacts your Data File, unregisters and re-registers all DLL's and ActiveX controls, delete's bad references, rebuilds all indexes, deletes the INI file, recompiles the program and closes the Order Manager to be restarted.

Important Note: Versions 4.400, 4.401 and 4.402 - Before using this function, uncheck the Unique checkbox from the Customers>Phone row in the Indexes table.
