Menu and Toolbar Overview
A menu bar appears above a toolbar at the top of the user interface window. Items in the menus as well as the buttons on the toolbar are context sensitive and appear as required. Subsets of the toolbar may also appear at the bottom of the form as a user convenience.
Many menu and toolbar operations also launch with shortcut key(s). For a listing of those shortcuts, click the menu item at the top or press [Alt]+<the underscored menu letter> such as [Alt]+F:

From the Edit menu, press [F7] to toggle between the header and the detail grid.
