= SUMMARY =

You will receive either the error message “Too many rows” (in Works 1.x) or “Too many rows or records” (in Works 2.0 or 3.0) for one of the following reasons:

  You tried to open a text file as a Database or Spreadsheet file, but Works found too many records. Solution: Open the text file as a Word Processor document, split it into smaller documents, and then open each document as a Database or Spreadsheet file.   You are adding or inserting rows into the Spreadsheet file (or records into the Database file ) that cause the total number of rows (or records) to exceed the maximum that Works allows. Works 2.0 allows a maximum of 4096 rows in Spreadsheet and 4096 records in Database. Works 3.0 allows a maximum of 32,000 records in Database and 16384 rows in Spreadsheet. Works maintains the largest dimensions your sheet has had during the current session of edits even if you decrease the size of the sheet by moving cell contents. For example, if you enter text in row 4096 (in Works 2.0), move it higher in the sheet (for example, to row 4090), and then attempt to insert another row below 4090, you will receive the error message. If you delete a seemingly empty row beneath 4090 and then attempt to insert an additional row, it will work properly.
