Shortcut for Record Selection Formula Editor

[socalvelo]

CR Ver 11

Does anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut available to open the Record Selection Formula Editor? This would be rather than making three mouse clicks to open it via: Report -> Selection Formulas -> Record.

No keyboard shortcut, but you should see an toolbar icon that is a hand selecting a red ball from two blue balls.

If it's not there, go to View --> Toolbars, and click the checkbox to display the Expert toolbar.

Thanks Brian. I am hoping there is a one step method to open the selection editor window. Going through Select Expert requires a few keyboard commands or mouse clicks also. I'm hoping newer versions allow this.

Well, it is only two clicks, not three. That's too much?

Are you familar with Autohotkey? If so you can create a script that will activate the record selection to a keyboard shortcut combination that you choose. For example:

^d::
IfWinNotActive, Crystal Reports -

return
Send !r
Send +s
Send +r

With autohotkey and the above script, you can open the record selection by hitting CTRL-d or whatever key combination you want to use.

It will automatically check to see if Crystal Reports is running, then send a Ctrl-r to open the Report Pull Down Menu, a Shift + s to go the "Select Expert" and a Shift +r to open the record selection.

Currently it would be the only way to do what you want
