Razzak, Thanks for your reply. It was the Consolidated Control Palette I was referring to (sorry I didn't have the name for it earlier). Both machines have the same width (1920), laptop is 1080 high, PC 1200. However following your reply I have tried moving the palette and find that I can drag it to be wider when it is alongside the report I am designing, but I can't do that when it is where I had it with the other controls. It is now wider, displaying all options and all is good.
Thanks for your help. Regards, John Docherty -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of A.

Having said that, did you know that you can take advantage of the enhanced real-state-aware, "Consolidated Control Palette" option for well organized controls in Form, Label and Report Designers? Here's how (in your specific situation)... 01. Close the Report Designer ... 02. Database Explorer | Main Menu | Settings | Report/Label Designer | Default Settings ... Default Report/Label Settings | General ... [x] Use Consolidated Control Palette 03. Click on [OK] button to save Default Report/Label Settings 04. Now open any report in Report Designer ... 05. Notice the well organized "Control Palette" that you may dock anywhere you wish. Just above the bottom status bar of the Report Designer is the suitable place to dock Control Palette (in my opinion, of course). You may switch to desired controls by either clicking on the tab page or clicking on the arrow down (far right) to select appropriate group. That's all there is to it! Have fun.
