Works 2000: Only the Last Field Appears After Converting a dBase IV File (239308)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Works 2000
  • Microsoft Works Suite 2000

This article was previously published under Q239308

SYMPTOMS

When you open a dB IV database file with Microsoft Works 2000 Database, and you then click List on the View menu, only the last field appears. This is the case even though all of the fields are present when you first open the file.

NOTE: A dBase IV file always opens in Form view.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because dB IV files appear scrolled to the right in List view.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, scroll the database list to the left. Note that all of the fields are present.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Works 2000.
