Topic: Finding record on RecordKey

I was wondering if anyone could advise on the best way to go about pulling out a record on the basis of RecordKey alone?

Basically i have a record that needs editing and i have the key for that record but i'm not sure how to use that to pull it out of the database.

There is an addin called GotoKey. Install it and it is self explanatory I think.

I'm always using Go to Key... just wish it defaulted to taxon occurrence key instead of survey!
