Can you please elaborate on the message? I think kiki and dakota are
talking about different error messages. Dakota, can you paste the exact
message. That will help. Thanks.

Serialized Field

Posted: 27 May 2006 08:15 AM PDT

Hi John,

I think the clue is in Help for serialize.

From help: "Works starts serializing with the next new record you add".

In other words, serialization will start at the place where a new record is
added, all existing records will be blank.
---------------------

If you want to serialize existing records in your existing Field.

Format the Field as General.

Input 1 in the first record of the field.

To highlight all the existing records of that field. Point mouse to first
record of that field, click and hold down the mouse button, and then move
the mouse pointer down until all records are highlighted.

On the Edit menu, click Fill Series.

Under Units, click the unit you want for the series.

If you want the series to increase more than one unit, select the number
that appears in the Step By box, and the type a different number.

Click Ok.

Note If you decide not to use the series, immediately click Undo Fill
Series on the Edit menu.
---------------------------

If all is okay so far you can now format that Field as serialize if you
want. The only thing you want to remember is to start your serialize number
with it's correct number. As explained by Help, "Works starts serializing
with the next new record you add".

Hope this helps,
Ken

Works 8.5 How to set open folder?

Posted: 26 May 2006 10:48 AM PDT

The file save as or open type is something we dont have much control
over. To choose *.* just go all the way down in the open dialog and
choose "All files". This will display all the files in the drive you
want to open even if works Word processor cannot open them. Is this
what you are looking for?

I would suggest not changing the list as that might be dangerous and
lead to data loss.

Office 2007 Beta Corrupts Works 6.0

Posted: 26 May 2006 07:29 AM PDT

You might be able to apply the same method described in
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.office.misc/browse_frm/thread/2f72416502508885
to fix the problem with Works 6.

Been there done that NO DICE with works 8 (as part of Works Suite 2005)

I had the same problem after installing Office 2007 B2 of
not being able to open Works 7. What I did to get Works 7 functioning again
was: Uninstall Works 7, delete the Works folder from "Program files (x86)",
reinstall Works 7. Everything works normally, if I open a WPS document in
Word I get a warning about a possible malicious document which I ignore
because I know the document source. Usually I'll open Works for viewing
documents that were saved in Works.

Hi Jim,
After some research, here's some info for you:
1) A full installation of Word 2007 installs the latest Works converter
(Works632.cnv), which includes some DLL's from beta Works 9.
2) These Works 9 DLL's have the same name and location as their Works
6/7/8/8.5 counterparts, meaning that the old Works DLL's get overwritten
with their Works 9 counterparts.
3) Some differences in Works 9 cause these newer DLL's to be incompatible
with the older versions of works, so the system loader complains about
missing exports when trying to run the program. As a result, the Task
Launcher is the only Works app that will run (it doesn't have the dependency
on the files that get overwritten).
Works can be restored via the following steps:
1) Start Office setup in maintenance mode
2) Uninstall the Works converter (the rest of Office 2007 is fine)
3) Uninstall Works
4) Reinstall Works
Note that this will mean that Word will not be able to read WPS files. At
the moment, I don't know of any way to fix this (I haven't tried it with the
old converter from the web site, but I don't think it will work).
HTH.
Debbie

DELETE

Posted: 24 May 2006 11:25 AM PDT

If you have deleted it from the drive it will not be visible in the
works folder. If you are seeing the file in the Works task launcher,
then you will have to delete the file, double click the file name in
the history of the launcher and then approve the removal of that record
from the task launcher history list.

Does this help. please reply if you have any Questions.
Thanks

Works 7 font cache error

Posted: 24 May 2006 07:08 AM PDT

Hi Jim,

The cleanup utilities provide one to return their computer to a original
Works installation.

As you still have problems I can only assume it is not caused by Works.

You might try searching this news group at Google for Font Cache, perhaps
one of their suggestion may help.

Good luck,
Ken

Works 7 and Word 2002

Thanks for your help, however I have now completed a system restore and this
has cured the problem.
Once again many thanks for trying to help.

Works Spreadsheets, Can't Open

Posted: 22 May 2006 03:29 PM PDT

You may have a corrupted install of Works. I looked at my Works 6, and
wkssole.dll does have an entry point of _MatGetObjName@8

I'm guessing that you are trying to start the spreadsheet from the Task
Launcher. As a temporary work around, try starting the spreadsheet
program directly it. It's typically located at

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Works\wksss.exe

You can create a shortcut to the program. Starting wksss.exe directly
should open a blank spreadsheet.

Check the restore disks. You may have to install it separately.

Changes to db?
