Works 7.0 Database - Can't view record

Posted: 28 Sep 2006 06:21 AM PDT

Hi,

Did you check the field height ?
(you can't see the record because the height is set to 0)
Try this :
Edit > Select All
Format > Field's height > Ok or Standard
(It's perhaps slightly different because it's a free translation of the 4.5
french version)

Regards.

Michel

Works 4.5a Database: Calculate median price

Posted: 26 Sep 2006 02:08 PM PDT

Dave, it will be several thousand records grouped by LOTS of different
schools and the data will change from time-to-time, which is why it would be
great to automate it. I use OpenOffice for my spreadsheet, and it has a
built-in median function, but grouping and reporting seems to be better
suited to a database.

FYI, I created an experimental report in the Works database and used the
built-in functions "minimum," "maximum," and "average" calculations on
groups as well as on the entire data set. It was wonderfully simple to set
up and administer. In fact, the sample report I created for the test does
EVERYTHING I need to do for the real data, except it lacks the median
calculation.

BTW, there is a work-around in the Works spreadsheet for calculating the
median, and it involves the "count" and "index" functions. Works DB doesn't
have the "index" function, so I may just be out of luck.

But so far, no one has come out and said, "It's not possible to do the
median in the Works Database," so I'm still holding out for hope.

Works can handle simple Excel files. It can't handle all the advanced

Works 6.0 - Database won't start

Posted: 20 Sep 2006 03:04 PM PDT

Hi David,

Sorry to hear you still have the problem.

As I recall a printer can cause unusual problems with the database.

Also the following two knowledge base articles might be of interest.

You receive a "The application failed to initialize properly
(0xc0150002)" error message when you start an Office 2003 program on a
Windows XP Professional-based computer
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822520


You receive error messages when you try to install Office 2003 or use an
Office 2003 program

Microsoft Works issue

Posted: 20 Sep 2006 08:13 AM PDT

Thanks for the feed back.

For what ever reason the uninstall does not remove all of Works and during
reinstall it apparently uses those files instead of replacing them from the
CD

If deleting the folder didn't work then I would have suggested using cleanup
utilities to completely remove all remnants of Works.

Example of cleanup utilities described here....

Works keeps changing specified printer

Posted: 19 Sep 2006 07:05 AM PDT

Well, you shouldn't have to select the HP 1022 in the print dialog box if
it's the default printer.
What is going on if you start and try to print : wordpad, Works Word
processor ?

compacting a formula

Hi deebs,

You could extend that nested series to B2=20, where the limit
is the maximum number of characters (254) allowed in a cell.

HTH,

Form letter for more than one record?

Posted: 18 Sep 2006 10:03 AM PDT

So if I understand correctly, Jon, you're trying to position fields in a
report so that they don't all print on a single line.

The trick to doing this is to first create the report containing the
fields that you want, then modify the report. Reports are created with only
1 row per record. Insert additional rows, selecting "Record" as the type,
until you have as many rows as you need for the pre-printed form that you're
trying to match. All of the blocks of the Record type will print together
for a given record, so by positioning the rows and columns of the report
where you need them, you can pretty well control exactly where the text will
be printed. Formatting in the report works much like formatting in the
spreadsheet, with options for font, alignment, borders, shading, etc. The
results you get will only be as good as the paper handling of the printer
you're using (the best results I've ever seen were from dot-matrix printers
with continuous tractor-fed paper).

You can force one record per page by inserting a page break (under the
Format menu, oddly enough), or if you need to fill out forms with multiple
records per page, you can simply insert a large "Record" row at the end of
your data block, then adjust its size until the overall record height gives
you the correct vertical alignment.

Your other option is to use the mail merge feature from the word
processor, but you'd probably have to insert your fields into text boxes and
use the text boxes to control exactly where on the page the text gets
printed. This creates some extra work, but allows you a little more
flexibility if you can't get the database report to print correctly.
