SYMPTOMS
========
 
In a Microsoft Works Database document, calculated fields created after the
one-hundredth-twenty-eighth field created are not updated automatically.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
To make a calculated field update correctly when information is entered in
a cell affecting it, create the calculated field before the one-hundredth-
twenty-eighth field created. It can then be moved anywhere else in the
database and function correctly.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Works version 3.0. This
problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Works version 4.0.
