SUMMARY

The error message "Too many rows or records" in Microsoft Works for Windows is generated for the following reasons:

  1. You tried to open a text file as a Database or Spreadsheet file, but Works for Windows found too many records.

    Solution: Open the text file as a Word Processor document, split it into smaller documents, and then open each document as a database or spreadsheet file.
  2. You are inserting rows into the Spreadsheet (or records into the Database) that cause the total number of rows (or records) to exceed the maximum that Works for Windows allows. Works for Windows allows a maximum of 16,384 rows in the Spreadsheet and 32,000 records in the Database.

    Solution: If you delete a record or row of cells from the bottom, then Works for Windows will allow you to insert a row or a column.
