Thanks for this. I have tried doing this to - but I can't resize either way - to be bigger or smaller. I've tried this using the grab and the right-click command. Ignore my last answer. I've just tried making several fields smaller at once - and this has obviously now freed up enough width to allow me to add in some extra to the one I need. Thanks very much - I thought it must be something pretty straightforward.

Hi all I'm sorry if this is really obvious or the wrong place to post this, but I have been having a real frustration with FM Pro databases recently. I am editing my website databases using ODBC. As I tend to edit fields en masse, I use the "view as table" browse mode. In a lot of my columns, the fields I have contain more data than the column width will show. So I've tried adjusting the column width, but it won't let me. I've used the drag to resize function, and the right click and set column width one, but in both cases my column width remains the same. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to set them? I've looked through all the help info, forums and googled the problem but have got nowhere. I took a screengrab, but the arrow one didn't show up. I'm attaching the right click one. Thanks for any help.

Hi everyone. I'm new here and not an advanced user of FileMaker, so please excuse me if I accidentally post something stupid or not quite within the board guidelines. I've been using FM pro to manage my ODBC databases - they link into my website data. In the last couple of days whenever I open any of them, only the first few lines of data show, and the rest is just questionmarks. I can't access any of the FM menus - or if I can, it takes ages to respond. It intermittently says "find in progress" and shows a number, which is going down. In the top information bar, where it shows the total the number there is also occassionally dropping. On the screenshot attached, this started out with some thing like 67700 and in the last 15 minutes has dropped to 67236. We've checked the databases online and they're fine. I have a web guy who ran through some checks for me yesterday and they all came back with no errors. All of the data is showing fine on our website too - so I really don't think there are any errors there. I also recreated some of the documents - respecified the data source - it linked into the databases and picked up field headings etc no problem, but exactly the same thing happened when it came to displaying the data. If anyone has any ideas about what could be wrong I would really appreciate it. Thanks
