What is the difference between Shift + F2, Shift + F6 and F6, I wondered if they do the same or not?
According to the F keys guide one what they do is AssistEdit, Drill Down and Lookup but I don't see any difference between them.

    Yes, you cannot see any difference if a field only contains 1 of the follwing AssistEdit, DrillDown, or LookUp. It will just work as it states in the F key guides if in one field have the 3 options (to lookup, to assistedit, and to dirll down) Too see the main difference.

    - Create a purchase invoice fill the Vendor No., go to the Foreign trade tab. click on the curreny code field. Do the combinations.
    :)

    Or better explanation is.

    If the textbox has code under its triggers lookup, drilldown, and assist edit. try it your self and you will see the difference.

    That's funny!
    Never knew they have the same result (AssistEdit, Drill Down and Lookup) on those 3 different buttons.

    To answer you're question: I guess no difference. :?

    Just noticed that Shift + F2, Shift + F6 and F6 also works on option-fields.

    Try Alt+arrow down on lookup/drilldown :-k

    All the while I only used F6 and didn't realise the same function can be trigged by Shift + F2 and Shift + F6.

    Thanks Mart. Today i learned 1 new thing. =P~

    If you have in all three triggers code (OnLookup(), OnDrillDown(), OnAssistEdit()) and behind theese three triggers are different functions, an user can start theese source with the following shortcuts.

    F6 -> OnLookup()
    Shift + F6 = OnDrillDown()
    Shift + F2 = OnAssistEdit()

    Regards
    Do you make it right, it works too!
