The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, version 4.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you open a Works 3.0 Database file in Works 4.0, the conversion
status bar does not reflect the status of the conversion process until
the very end. This may lead you to believe that your computer has stopped
responding (has hung) when it is actually still working on converting the
Database file. This problem is most noticeable when importing a large
Database file containing many forms.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works version 4.0 for
the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here as it becomes available.
