>Imagine the following situation: you have a list (possibly even an extended one)
of records and you locate the record you want to edit. Next to the view window
you have a form that would be suited to this task but you don't want to click
on 'next' 137 times to get to the record you need to edit. </P

allow you to do just that: select the view that will be the source of changes
(ie that would be the list in our example) in the combo box then select the
form view in the list below.</P
