WORKAROUND
There are two methods to work around this:
Method 1: Using a Query
- Create a query that will hide the desired records.
- Save the database file. The last query created (step 1) will save
with the database.
- Each time the file is reopened, choose Apply Query from the Select
menu to rehide the records.
Note: If you perform any other query(s) on the database after saving
it, you will need to enter the original query again and resave the
file.
Creating a query is covered in "Querying a database for related
records" in the "Microsoft Works for Windows User's Guide" on pages
274-284.
Method 2: Using a Separate File
The database with the hidden records removed could be kept in a
separate database file, with the database in its entirety left under
its original name.
- Open the original database file in Works for Windows.
- Save the file under a different name.
- Open the new file and delete the records you want hidden.
- Resave the file using the new name.
To remove the hidden attribute of a record and make it visible in the
new database, open the original database and copy the record, then
paste it in the new database.
To hide additional records in the new database, delete the records.
Deleting records is covered in "Adding and deleting records in a
database" in the "Microsoft Works for Windows User's Guide" version
3.0, pages 306-307 or "Microsoft Works for Windows User's Guide"
version 2.x: on pages 251-252.
