As far as I am aware, when you save the layout it does not save hidden columns as hidden.
You get around this by creating a view that shows the columns that you do want and save the layout (width, colour, etc) for that. Regards, Alastair. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jay K.

Well, I going through the tutorial and stumbled into a slight problem. I have 7.5 by the way. I hid one of the columns in my "customer" table. The directions below says to set "Layout" to on via Settings: Configuration Settings. I went to Settings: Configuration Settings: Display and check marked Layout. Even though the directions didn't say anything about clicking Layout | Save Layout in the menu bar at the top, I did that as well. I then exited the Data Browser and reopened the table using the Data Browser. No luck...the column I previously hid still shows up. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please advise. Thanks. Jay Note: Changes made to the data display using the options on the Layout menu are not automatically saved. The default setting for "Layout" is off. To save changes, choose Settings: Configuration Settings and set "Layout" to on. This setting switches saving layouts on or off. When LAYOUT is set on, R:BASE saves the layout of data displayed in the Data Browser when you exit. R:BASE saves layouts for single tables only. The next time you display the table with the Data Browser, the layout of data will be as you previously arranged it. When LAYOUT is set off, R:BASE does not save the layout of data and ignores any saved layouts. If you want to see a table displayed in its default format without changing the saved layout for it, set LAYOUT off before displaying the table. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
