Toolbar Explanation and Help

The Electroniclaim Form Toolbar provides controls that let you view and manage the data in the Electroniclaim tables.

The Electroniclaim toolbar controls let you navigate through the records, change record order, add records, delete records and save changes to records.  The control buttons have pictures, or icons, that represent their functions.  The Electroniclaim Form Toolbar controls are shown below.
