Left/Right ArrowsThese keys move the list in the horizontal direction.
TabThe Tab key moves focus to the next control on the form, as determined by the tab order.
PgUp, PgDnThese keys scroll the list up or down an entire page at a time. Unlike the vertical scroll bar, the PgUp and PgDn keys change the current row by the number of visible rows in the list's display. When paging up, the current row becomes the first row in the display area. When paging down, the current row becomes the last row in the display area, including the Add New row. The current column does not change.
Home, EndThese keys move the current cell to the first or last column. If necessary, the list will scroll horizontally so that the current cell becomes visible. The current row does not change. If the current cell is being edited, Home and End move the insertion point to the beginning or end of the cell's text.
