Hello,

Is it somehow possible to save a table's width while in table view in A2003? I tried several things and can't find it on the internet.

Thanks in advance,
John
 
When I open a table it gets automatically sized in relation to the Access application window. I would like some tables to open smaller (less wide) as they have for instance 1 or 2 fields. I can resize them manually but I can't find a way to save it.

I hope this is more clear.

Thanks.
 
Thanks CJ.

John Spencer has a point, although I'd like to have this feature as well.

Open the Table in datasheet view.

Adjust the column width.

Before doing anything else save the table using File, Save.

Or you can use Ctrl S

Curious as to why you want this. I hope it is not for the benefit of the user. Users should never see the actual Tables. They see the data using Forms.
 
@rainlover - that saves the column widths, but not the overall size of the window - at least not in 2010. It does work for queries, forms and reports tho', just not tables
 
This is about the table width and not about column widths. I'm working on a reporting application which imports data (there is no data entry) and presents them to the users via queries and reports. To build the queries and reports I often have to check the content of multiple tables. It's not handy when every table takes up almost the whole Access window. So this is a developer functionality I wish for.
 
Hi John!

I often had this problem until the day I switched to 'tabbed documents' in the Access options, current database.

Good luck, JLCantara.
 
well, no

1. tabbed documents aren't an option in A2003 and
2. the (developer) requirement is to be able to view two tables side by side - not possible with tabbed documents
 
If these Tables are in the Body of a Form, then you could use the Command "Move Replace".
