This article was previously published under Q88899 SUMMARY
In Microsoft Works 4.0, 4.5, and 4.5a for Windows 95, you can switch directly to a given record in a database by choosing that record from list
view and then switching to form view. However, you cannot use this method
to enter new records in form view.
If you choose the first empty record from list view and then switch to form view, the record that is displayed is the first record in the database, not the first empty record.

To enter new records in the database from form view, use the buttons located in the lower-left corner of the form view screen to move to the first empty record. (You can also press CTRL+END or click Go To from the Edit menu (F5 key) and enter the record number of the first empty record.). You can also enter information directly into the database from the List view.
To insert a record between existing records, select Insert Record from the Record menu (Works for Windows 95), or select Record from the Insert menu (Works 3.0). The inserted record will move the current record down a row.
