Works 2.0: Formulas Display in Database Cells

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

In large Microsoft Works for MS-DOS databases, formatted information may revert to unformatted numbers or display the formulas instead of the formula results. However, the correctly formatted number or result still appears in the formula bar. For example, a cell displays the number “33060,” but the formula bar displays “7/6/90.”

In some cases, performing a query and then switching hidden records restores the information to its original state. Attempting to reformat the values does not seem to correct this problem.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
