Editing dbase IV files

Hello,

I use Excel XP to open and edit a dBase IV file. I amend and add some rows.
Then I save the file, keeping its dbf format. However, when I close and
reopen it again, I find that the in-row edits are in order, but no rows are
added to the file.
(It seems that Excel remembers the original number of rows and saves only
those rows)

How do I solve this problem?
Thanks for your help.
 
Excel keeps track of the rows in your database file in a range name called
"Database"

You could delete it and excel will figure out what to use.

Or you could just change it to point at the new range.

Insert|names|define
is where you'd find either option.
