How to change width on the left side list showing Tables and other parts.

Hi,

> that kind of "programming level"

Only the first potential remedy at Colin's page is about programming. No 2 and 3 are keyboard and mouse actions you can try.

An easier version of No 1:

1. press Ctrl+G
2. copy this line into the Immediate window of the VBA editor where the cursor is in now:
   DoCmd.NavigateTo "acNavigationCategoryObjectType": DoCmd.Maximize
   and press Enter
3. close the VBA editor

Karls link? Well, I am not used to make such changes on that kind of "programming level" so I feel that's just now outside my range.

One of the best things I ever did was change the default width of scrollbars in Windows!

1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
2. Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
3. Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
4. In the right pane, find the entries named ScrollWidth and ScrollHeight.
   • The default value is usually -255. To make the scrollbars wider, enter a greater negative value up to a limit of -1500.
   • Double-click each entry and enter the same value for both.
5. Click OK and close the Registry Editor.
6. Sign out and sign back in (or restart your computer) for the changes to take effect.

What were your results when trying the suggestions in Karl’s link?

Your question: Does this happen with every new database you create?

My answer: Earlier has not been a problem. And other Access databases I have do not have this problem. I started by creating a number of Excell sheets with some start content. Then I imported the same into Access to create tables in Access. The more tables I imported the more narrow the left side list became.
