WINDOWS|MACINTOS

================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Works for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.0b, 4.0, 4.0a, 4.5, 4.5a == 

= SYMPTOMS =

You cannot see certain records in your Microsoft Works database when you view the database in List view. You cannot see the same records in Form view when you are scrolling through the records.

= CAUSE =

This behavior occurs when the height for a record is set too low or to 0 in List view. Although you cannot see the record in List view or when scrolling through records in Form view, you can see the record in Form view if you use the Go To command, and you can print the record from Form or Report view.

= RESOLUTION =

To make a record appear in List view or when you are scrolling through records in Form view, follow these steps:


 * 1) From the View menu, click List.
 * 2) From the Edit menu, click Go To.
 * 3) In the Go To dialog box, enter the number of the missing record and then click OK.
 * 4) From the Format menu, click Record Height.
 * 5) Enter a value in the Record Height box (12 is the default value) or click the Best Fit check box and then click OK.
 * 6) Repeat steps 2-5 for each missing record.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If you also cannot print the record from Form or Report view, the record is probably hidden, a result of using the Filter (Works 4.O, 4.0a, 4.5, or 4.5a), Query (Works 3.0, 3.0a, or 3.0b), Find, or Hide Record command. To see all the records, choose Show All Records from the Record menu (Works 4.0, 4.0a, 4.5, or 4.5a) or View menu (Works 3.0, 3.0a, or 3.0b).
