SYMPTOMS
A self-referencing formula in the Works for Windows database will evaluate to zero after you save a file with the File Save command and then continue to enter data.



WORKAROUND

 * 1) Select the field containing the zero balance.
 * 2) Press F2.
 * 3) Press ENTER without changing the contents of the field. This will force the database to recalculate the field to correct the problem.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works for Windows version 2.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.

Additional query words: 2.00 2.0 calculate self reference referencing
