= SUMMARY =

In the Microsoft Works version 1.x, 2.0, and 3.0 Database module, selecting a group of records displays the record number of the last record, not the number of records within the selection. In version 4.0, the last record number displays if the records are highlighted from the bottom up, and the first record number displays if the records are highlighted from the top down.

To determine the number of records in a selection, do the following:


 * 1) After performing the Record Selection or Filter, choose Save As from the File menu.
 * 2) Select Save Selected Records Only, type a new name for the database, and click the Save button.
 * 3) Open the new file and click the last record. The number in the upper-left corner of the database window represents the number of records within the selection.
