When you have the Index View open, how do you alter the column widths if you can't see the end of the column title? My columns seem to default to the full width of the window and I can't get hold of a "handle" to change the width. The "customise columns" doesn't allow you to set the width.
I also seem to have a very similar issue with Descendant View - however you change the columns the result doesn't "stick". But worse than that, if I try to change the width of the columns, then after 2-3 changes Legacy crashes. Or rather gives one of those annoying error boxes (error 6145) with three options for Try Again - Yes, No, Quit. Needless to say none of them does anything except the Quit.

Maybe design a second layout, adjust widths, and SAVE under a different name. Now, when you right click on the column heading in Index View, you get a list of the 'saved names' of your column layouts that you can switch to quickly AND it has remembered you column widths. This seems to remember the widths between Legacy sessions. (I did have a width memory loss if I went back through customize, used LOAD, then exit.....but you don't have to do that.) If this doesn't keep the width stuck to what you set over multiple sessions, then I think we should try to narrow down the causes and report them. ..../Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Kowallek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: May 30, 2005 3:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Index View On Mon, 30 May 2005 12:59:41 -0600, "Fred P.

Sometimes they stick for a few Legacy sessions ... then suddenly revert back to default width. I have no idea what causes this. And I have used Legacy for 4 years. -- Dennis M.
