File: &quot;Not Sorted&quot; Area Missing from Report
Last reviewed: October 26, 1994

Article ID: Q28558

Summary:

The three sections of a Microsoft File report appear in the following order: &quot;Sorted,&quot; &quot;Not Sorted,&quot; and &quot;Not Shown.&quot; If all the fields within a database report are moved into either the &quot;Sorted&quot; area or the &quot;Not Shown&quot; area of the report, the &quot;Not Sorted&quot; area will not be displayed.

To make the &quot;Not Sorted&quot; area appear again, do the following:


 * 1) From the Organize menu, choose Sort.
 * 2) Make sure that at least one of the fields is not sorted by selecting the sort priority number for a field and then pressing the BACKSPACE key.
 * 3) When at least one field is set not to be sorted, choose Report from the Organize menu.
 * 4) From the File menu, choose New Report.

The &quot;Not Sorted&quot; area can also be made to appear when a field is moved from &quot;Sorted&quot; to &quot;Not Shown,&quot; or vice versa, by releasing the mouse button when the cursor is exactly in the middle of the thick black line that separates the two areas.
