The problem set to me is not very simple. I got stuck finding the best solution, and have some doubt it exists.
The problem is:
User (powerful user) wants to open form (ANY form in navision) , find (focus) field (ANY numeric field that can give a sum) , push shortcut key and see the sum of all chosen record. I know how get sum from specified field on specified form, but of ANY I can't.

Is it possible to realize in Navision?
If it is impossible, could you give an explanation (it is not for me, just nobody listen to mine) ](*,)
keep it simple

    by the way, in key overview (Alt+F1) in Navision there is the key combination SHIFT+F10 with description "Amount"
    what does "Amount" mean? Where and how does it work?

    The only way I know is by using RecordRef and FieldRef but as far as I know this feature is availible since 3.60 and newer.
    If you use 3.60 than make sure you have the latest hotfix installed because older versions of 3.60 have many problems with RecordRef and FieldRef.

    It is not possible to do it for any field.
    For every field you want that functionality, you will need to program it.
    So on every form you want some fields to show the sum, you need to put some code in the form to know which table it is, the filters on it and the field on which you want a total.
    This information you can send to a function (a function that works for all fields and all tables, because programmed with recordreference and fieldreference), and this function can calculate the total.
    This function is quite easy to make.
    The problem is to put some code in all forms for all fields.

    Thanks, kriki. But this way is wasting my time, I'd better find out specified forms and fields and it would'be much faster.

    So, there was another question about shortcut... noone knows what it is?
