| The Works Database tool offers two different views that you can use to enter and review the database records. The Form view arranges a single record onscreen at a time. If you created the database using a task, the Form view displays fields in a nicely-arranged design. In a database created from scratch, the Form view lists the fields down the page. Choose View, Form or press F9 to change to Form view. |

|
| The List view, the default view if you create a database from scratch, has a spreadsheet-like grid of rows and columns, with each record in a row and each column representing a field. This view works best when you want to see multiple records and field entries onscreen at one time. Choose View, List or press Shift+F9 to change to List view. |

|
|
| The Database tool toolbar includes two buttons you can use to change between views in your database—the List View button and the Form View button. Click the appropriate button to change to the desired view. (Note that the chosen view applies in database printouts; choose the view you want to print before printing.) |

|
| In Form view, you can press the Tab key or an arrow key to move between fields in the form. A black highlight appears in the currently-selected field. (If you press Tab from the last field in the form, the Database tool displays the next record and selects the first field in that record.) Alternately, you can click on the blank beside the field name for the desired field to select that field. |

|
| In List view, you also can press the Tab key or an arrow key to move between fields in a record, or between records (rows). As in the Spreadsheet tool, a heavy black cell selector indicates the currently selected field. |
