8242 2001-01-31 11:24:00 For years I have used and taught the use of Microsoft WORKS. I use it for word
processing, spreadsheets and databases. Rarely any problems. But this last week I
have written a database for a local client to file all his cheques. No problems until I set
up a couple of reports for him using this information. Because of the large number of
fields and the fairly large amount of simple maths involved I was happy to see the
reports spread over 2 pages when printed. But whenever I save it, then call it back I
find the width of some report fields have changed - generally gone bigger. This causes
the report to be printed over 3 pages !!
I have tried everything. Different computers, different versions of MSWORKS.
Rewriting the database and report specifications. Nothing works. The reports come
back after saving in a modified format. I always believed reports were saved in the
format being used when the database itself was saved. Any suggestions to stop these
?illegal? changes to my work ?
