The hidden secrets of F2

Hitting the “F2” key on your keyboard is akin to calling out the magical phrase, “Open Sesame!”

Those words come from the story “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves” in One Thousand and One Nights, in which the words open the mouth of a cave where forty thieves have hidden a treasure.

By hitting F2 on your keyboard you can invoke a little magic of your own to view the variety of your QuickBooks information on one screen. In fact, QuickBooks Pro, Premier and Enterprise editions all come with this “hidden” feature.

In one glance you can see…

  • Your installed version of QuickBooks
  • Your license and product numbers
  • The number of users allowed to log in to your QuickBooks
  • The database holding all your financial data
  • The size of your file
  • Find out who’s currently logged in
  • And much more...
