Current Selection:

As used above, the term "current selection" refers to the currently active Entry/Edit form. Since CCS Accounting allows multiple Companies and Entry/Edit forms to be open simultaneously, the CCS Accounting program tracks where you are currently working (or where you were working last -- the last location of the cursor or focus). When you select an item such as NEXT RECORD from a toolbar, the next record of the currently active form, within the currently active COMPANY, is accessed (if available) and displayed in the currently active form. For example, if you are working in the CCS Training Program and have opened both the EMPLOYEE FORM and TAGS FORM, and are in the process of editing a TAG when you click the NEXT RECORD, the edit changes made to the TAG will be saved and the next the TAG in the TAGS table will be displayed. The EMPLOYEE FORM will not be affected. If you have "wandered around" a bit and are not sure which form will be affected by a toolbar command, simply note the main window's TITLE, which always displays the currently active COMPANY and form. If you have multiple dialogs open, the currently active dialog will show its normal color in the frame TITLE, whereas inactive dialogs will be shown with a light gray (disabled) color. As you move from form to form, the buttons state (lighted or not) will be updated to reflect the buttons that are available based on the form that is most recently active. If a button is not effecting the form you want, simply position the cursor within the form you want to work with, then retry the toolbar command.
