SUMMARY
Within the Works for Windows database list view and the spreadsheet, you cannot perform an Edit Undo after choosing Replace from the Edit menu.



WORKAROUND
From the Edit menu, choose Replace again and replace the new value with the previous value.

NOTE:

If there were any cells/records that already had the "new" value before completing the original Replace procedure, the above workaround will not work. For example, if a database contains three records with a City of "Seattle" and two with "Boston", and you replace all occurrences of "Seattle" with "Boston", reversing the procedure and replacing "Boston" with "Seattle" will incorrectly leave five "Seattle" records. To solve the problem you would need to manually edit those records or use an earlier version of the file.
