Hi Judith, I'm sorry but I've got more IDE issues to discuss. My apologises for these all coming together. I think once I started telling you about one thing then I've remembered, or sometimes discovered, others. 1) If I create a Table object and then click on it, the PropertyList shows a greyed out row called "Table Specs" and "Press to Access". Is that right? If I save the project and then open it again a popup appears saying "After project file is loaded, you need to use TableSpecs to adjust the columns and rows for Table2". The "Table Specs" row is still greyed out, so I can't follow the instruction. 2) If I already have the IDE open and attempt to open a 2nd one, then a splash screen blinks up and closes. Presumably the IDE is closing because only one is allowed at a time, it would be nicer if it paused to popup a message box informing the user of this. 3) If I have a "List View Styles Explorer" window open it's possible to open a 2nd one from the main IDE. If you do this then you can't close both. Cancel on one works, the other won't close. I know this is a "Doctor Doctor it hurts when I do this" situation, but it happened to me by mistake and I was unable to get out of the situation without closing the whole IDE. 4) I've had problems with resizing the design area. Here's a way of demonstrating an issue with it: 1) Open the IDE 2) Now use Project -> Open to open a project with a screen that is wider than the original design window 3) Now use the right edge of the main IDE window to resize wider 4) Now try to use the right edge of the design window to resize wider. It won't let you. It will let you reduce the width but not increase it. 5) To get out of this situation use the bottom right corner of the main IDE window to resize wider and then it will automatically widen the design window. Thanks very much in advance for looking at these issues, Cheers, Mark
