Next ~ Moves the selection to the next record in the database.

Previous ~ Moves the selection to the previous record in the database.

Last ~ Moves the selection to the last record in the database.

Insert ~ Inserts a new, blank record in the database, ready to accept data.

Delete ~ Deletes all data in the currently selected record and moves the selection to the next record in the database.

Edit ~ Puts the database into edit mode so that the currently selected record may be edited.

Post ~ Writes any changes that have been made to the current record in the database.

Cancel ~ Cancels changes made to the current record and returns the display to it's condition prior to editing.
