Automatically "fit" query design view table/field grid columns.

In query DESIGN view, how do I automatically "fit" the columns in the
table/field grid to the lengths of the table and field names (including any
functions applied to the fields). I am not talking about the query results.
I am talking about sizing parts of the query DESIGN view, so that they are
readable (long table and field names that get chopped off, long criteria
specifications that get chopped off, ...), and saving the sizing so I don't
have to redo it every time I open the query in DESIGN view. I'm using MS
Access 2003.

Highlight all of the columns then do a best fit on any one of them. It
doesn't save.

I keep getting the following error message when I run a serie of SQL commands: Server: Msg 9002, Level 17, State 6, Line 15 The log file for database 'tempdb' is full. Back up the transaction log for the database to free up some log space. I have tried "dump transaction tempdb with no_log" right before I run the SQL command. But that doesn't help.

My PHP script builds a table that is too wide to fit on the paper. Two of the columns contain strings that are more lengthy than data in the other columns. I can get the table to fit by letting the browser break the lengthy strings across two or more lines, thus allowing the column to get skinnier. I do this by inserting spaces in various places in the string. But this is not a desirable solution as it would mislead the user into...

I'm building my own crosstab table. If a crosstab field has no data in the entire field (as a result of filtering), I don't want to show that field. Is there a way to do this in a qry or frm object? I'd use a pivot, but PT are too slow, and they sometimes crash with amount of data (rows and columns) I'm talking about ..or I get an exceeds capacity error message. Thanks Jerry

I'm converting my table-based layouts to css-positioned divs - but the ONLY reason I'm doing it is because it's *considered* a best practice. I don't really see where anything goes hinky when tables are used - but I'm doing it anyway because the HTML and CSS specs says to reserve tables for tabular data. So as I convert my login widgit to a css thing, I'm saying to myself - hey, this form is most certainly "tabular data" - even if it...

Greetings, I have a report displayed on a screen that anyone in the office can look at. The data on this report will change from time to time. This report has different colors displayed depending on the data. Since I'm using Access '97, I can't do this on a form. What I am doing is "refreshing" this report every 60 seconds. Since Access '97 can't use the timer interval for reports, I have a form that is closing and then reopening my...

I have an unbound grid that is on my form (not created programmatically). I stretched the size to what I think is wide enough to accomodate the 6 columns I will be creating. I plan on making the width wide enough so that you don't have to scroll to the right. I want to know if there is a property to resize the width programmatically in case I add or remove columns. thanks

Is there maybe a trick so that when I make a continuous form, the records fit exactly? Now, without such trick, often the last visible record shows only half and I have to stretch the form manually, and try, and try once more, until all the visible records do fit neatly on my form. thanks for your secrets Michiel

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
