I have 23 tables in my database. I go to SETTINGS / DATA BROWSER /

just a split second,
then it snaps into MS Sans Serif 8, which I don't want. This
doesn't happen with any
other table.
Here's the fun part. If I RENAME the Roster table to ANYTHING ELSE,
it stops misbehaving
and displays the font and size that I set, without snapping into MS
Sans Serif 8.
Something is making this happen, but I'm at a loss. It might not
seem serious, but I'm
just trying to make the screens easier to read. The Cell Dimensions
adjust automatically
in every other table except Roster unless, of course, if I give it
another name!
Why would the stupid NAME have anything to do with this? Is there a
forgotten default
setting somewhere? Why only that one table? Aaaargh!!! I'm in 7.6.
Fred,
Most likely, that is the result of previously saved table "LAYOUT"
options for "Roster"
table.
When LAYOUT settings are set to "ON", table layout settings, if
defined are saved, and
are enforced for the LAYOUT of data displayed on Browse/Edit.
In your specific scenario, in order to get rid of such behavior, you
have two options:
01. CONNECT the database and then use the following command at the R> prompt:
SET LAYOUT OFF
02. Delete the previously saved layout records, if you want to take
advantage of new
Data Browser/Editor options:
DELETE ROWS FROM SYS_LAYOUTS
That should take care of that specific behavior of "Roster" table.
Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
