key to move to it).Some fields have multiple preset values available as entry options*.
These fields display a set of arrows next to them when they are active (i.e., when they are made the focus by clicking in the field, or using the key to move to it).
These arrows are referred to as either “the up and down arrows” or the “spin box”.
Clicking on the up arrow 
will move forward through a list, one entry at a time; e.g. A-Z.
Clicking on the down arrow 
will move backward through a list, one entry at a time; e.g. Z-A.
TIPS:
For many fields such as dates, numbers, currencies, etc., click with the right mouse button or middle mouse button (or scroll wheel) to advance the quantity displayed more quickly. For instance, in a date field, each right-click of the 'up arrow' will advance the date by one month, and each right-click of the 'down arrow' will go backwards one month.
Each middle-click of the 'up arrow' will advance the date by one week, and each middle-click of the 'down arrow' will go backwards one week.
Pressing the 
key while you click the left button has the same function as the right mouse button.
Pressing the 
key while you click the left mouse button has the same function as the middle button / scroll wheel of the mouse.
The up and down arrows 
on the keyboard can also be used to move backward and forward through entries in a spin box if you wish.
* For a new database, or for infrequently-used files, there may be some fields for which multiple choices are not available until such time as data has been entered into them, 'populating' the field option list.
