Works 95: DB Returns to "No Database" with dBASE III, IV File

MORE INFORMATION

This problem occurs because the call made to load the dBASE file returns a flag indicating that the file cannot be opened. This flag is only used in print merge.

NOTE: The same problem existed in Works for Windows version 3.0. However, in that version, the Add Fields box would be blank, so there was no way to successfully merge the dBASE file without first converting it to the Works database format.

Use one of the following three methods to select the dBASE file for a print merge.

Method 1

Open the dBASE file before opening the Print Merge Wizard.

Method 2

1. Select the dBASE file in the Database tab.
2. Click View Database.
3. When the database opens, click Go Back to return to the Wizard.

Method 3

Open the dBASE file and save it in a Works 4.0 format before you attempt the print merge.
