FRx Shortcut Keys

June 25, 2008 By Jan Lenoir Harrigan CPA Leave a Comment

One of my favorites—the F3 key will drop down a box.

Use it instead of a mouse.

The F3 key works the same as clicking the dropdown box with the mouse. While I’d really encourage you to memorize Format Codes and not use the dropdown box at all, you can use F3 throughout FRx to save time when you don’t have the values memorized.

While I’m at it, F1 brings up FRx Help, such that it is. F2 allows you to Edit, just like in Excel. Alas, F4 does not repeat the edit as it does in Excel. I’ve been asking for it for years but given FRx’s future, I’d say my hopes are toast.

Other keyboard shortcuts are the ones you may use in other Windows applications: Ctrl S to Save, Ctrl C to Copy, Ctrl V to Paste…but no Ctrl Z to Undo!

About

Hey! I'm a CPA and I specialize in Management Reporter and FRx. [Sometimes with a side of snark.] I've been doing this for 22 years (yikes). But when I'm not working I can be found reveling in live music & pizza trailers at home in Austin Texas! —Jan Lenoir Harrigan More

Learn Management Reporter

Why fight with Microsoft's manual? Life is too short as it is.

My first manual—4 foundation reports:
covers-i-2d
My second manual—12 more reports:
covers-ii-2d
My third (and hopefully last) manual—cashflow:
covers-iii-2d

All Hat, No Cattle?

Watch out—a few unscrupulous consultants are lifting copyrighted original content from several sites, this one included, and passing it off as their own. I'm hacked off and I don't mind naming names. Bottom line—be very careful about whom you hire!

"If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur."

Who I Work With

I work with zillions of companies who run Dynamics GP, AX and SL.

And lots of other consultants.

So I work with accountants who need accurate financials to help close the books. Not to mention present to the Board.

I don't sell or install MR. [How smart am I?]

FRx is Toast

FRx is toast—and I hope you're getting rid of it soon—but just in case someone still needs to learn it:

  • FRx in 8 Hours—Introduction 
  • FRx in 8 Hours—Intermediate

BTW, if you're on Dynamics, you can migrate to MR, but you should know there are other options. Choose what's best for you.

New to MR?

Here are 3 essentials to know before you start.

Background—back in the day, FRx was a famous midmarket report writer from a small agile company in Colorado. Then it got acquired. [Sigh]

Now it's owned by Microsoft. They rewrote it and rebranded it Management Reporter.

The two are very much alike and much of the FRx content here also applies to MR.
