Figure 2-11. The SHIPTO Form, Record No. 1 with a Typing Error
Enter Data
Action
Type in the date September 22, 1986, as shown in Figure 2-11.
Since the date fills the field, the cursor is positioned to the beginning
of the next unprotected field, the Name field. Note that if data does
not fill a field, you must press TAB to move the cursor to the next
field.
Action
Continue typing in data until each field contains a value, as shown in
Figure 2-11. Press TAB to move to each field.
As currently defined, you can skip fields if you want, since all fields
on this form are optional--this is a default attribute of FORMSPEC
fields that allow you to leave any field blank.
Before you press ENTER to record the data, always look over the form to
see if there are any mistakes. Note that there is one mistake in Figure
2-11; the word September in the date field is misspelled.
