I use the @WUKnnn for F3, F4, F8 and F9
I uses @WUK* If: @key eq "INSL"
Then: This will call up a telmail program inside
filepro all
customer/vendors phone, fax email then use
will have
option to fax, text, email that contacts or
contacts he or she chooses.
If: @key eq "DELL"
Then: Will delete a line in a memo field
If: @key eq "DRPT"
Then: This will pop up a menu anywhere inside of
filepro
If: @key eq "GRAF"
Then: When a user clicks in a field will their mouse
will run a
routine to put the user in that field they
click on.
Works great for our applications in filepro
Would also like to see @FKEYnn function as well
I don't know how many people use this feature in filepro but can anyone
tell me how many people do use filepro ? "Say I"
