---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, versions 4.0, 4.0a, and 4.0b
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
In a Database document, summary information in the Report view may not be
visible, and will not print if all of the following are true:
 
 - One of the fields in the report is grouped.
 
 - Information in the first record of the grouped field is identical to
   the information in the last record.
 
 - You preview and/or print the report.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
In the Format Report dialog box, sort the field you're grouping.
This ensures that the first and last records are not identical.
 
NOTE: If all records in the grouped field are identical, do not group the
field.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Works versions
4.0, 4.0a and 4.0b for the Macintosh. We are researching this problem and
will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
