Works: Queries Do Not Find Correct Information or Any Match

PSS ID Number: Q60688 Article last modified on 06-12-1996

2.00

MS-DOS

Summary:

Queries in the Database module of version 2.0 of Microsoft Works for MS-DOS may fail to match the correct records because more than one query is being entered at a time. The CTRL+HOME and CTRL+END key combinations jump to the first and last queries, and the query number appears at the bottom of the query screen.

If you can press CTRL+END and the query number in the bottom-left corner of the screen is larger than 2, then you have more than one query.

Use the following method to clear all the queries:


 * 1) While in the query screen, press CTRL+HOME to move to the first stored query.
 * 2) Choose Edit Delete Query to remove the current query.
 * 3) Continue to execute the Edit Delete Query command until all stored queries are deleted. When all queries have been deleted, a 2 will appear as the query number in the left corner of the status bar when CTRL+END is pressed.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works version 2.0. This problem was corrected in Works version 3.0.
