Using the FormCalc SST Hotkey (Invoking FormCalc SST)

Most of the time you will invoke FormCalc SST directly from QuickBooks while working in the form you want to process, by pressing the FormCalc SST hotkey (which by default is the F11 key, unless you change it in Preferences) . There are two ways to use the hotkey to process the form:

1. Keyboard and Mouse

Press the FormCalc SST hotkey once to display the Choose an action menu, then click the Process this QuickBooks form button.

2. Keyboard Only

Press the FormCalc SST hotkey once to display the Choose an action menu, then press it again to process the form.

This method is usually faster, because it only requires two presses of the same key.
