Razzak,
Thank you for your response. For me, it's all in the details. Your first
solution SET LAYOUT OFF works just fine, so I have added it to my RBASE.DAT
file. However, your second solution DELETE ROWS FROM SYS_LAYOUTS has no
effect on the issue. The Roster table continues to revert to some unseen
default MS Sans Serif 8. As long as SET LAYOUT OFF works for me, I am
comfortable with the result and merely curious as to why I am unable to rid
the
Roster table of that invisible default. Your personal responses are always
appreciated. I really am having fun!
Thanks,
Fred

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

to set a nice font for the Browse screens. EVERY table complies EXCEPT one

When I BROWSE ALL FROM ROSTER, the font I had set flashes on for 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.
