Database Self-Referencing Formula Returns Zero After Save (79492)






This article was previously published under Q79492

SYMPTOMS

A self-referencing formula in the Works for Windows database will evaluate to zero after you save a file with the File Save command and then continue to enter data.

WORKAROUND

  1. Select the field containing the zero balance.
  2. Press F2.
  3. Press ENTER without changing the contents of the field. This will force the database to recalculate the field to correct the problem.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works for Windows version 2.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
