= SYMPTOMS =

When you try to add fields to an existing blank Works report that doesn’t contain fields, the newly added fields appear only in the upper-left corner of the report and cannot be moved.

= CAUSE =

Works allows fields to be added to blank reports in Layout mode of Report Options. However, because the blank form lacks a data line, newly added fields cannot be moved.

In fully functional reports, Works creates a Title line, Page Heading line and a Data line during the formation of a Report. If a report is created without fields, Works only includes a Title line and a Page Heading line.

= RESOLUTION =

In Layout mode of the report:


 * 1) On the Format menu, click Report Options and then click Display Options.
 * 2) Make sure the Show Data box is checked.
 * 3) Click the Done button.

This places a Data line in the Report that will then enable you to move your fields.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
