File: Save Records As Command Does Not Save Hidden Fields
Last reviewed: October 26, 1994

Article ID: Q30565

Summary:

When the Save Records As command is used in Microsoft File, only fields above the hidden area and formulas for computed fields below the hidden area are saved.

If your data file contains hidden fields in either View 1 or View 2 of the form for your data file and you want to save the data file to a new name, you must drag all hidden fields, with the exception of computed fields, above the hide line before using the Save Records As command.

More Information:

When you choose Save Records As, the following occurs:


 * 1) All non-computed fields below the hide line are not saved with the datafile.
 * 2) All non-computed fields above the hide line save normally.

For more information, see the first paragraph under the &quot;Save Records As&quot; heading on page 179 of the &quot;Microsoft File for Apple Macintosh&quot; manual.
