PRB: Expression in Query Grid Does Not Show All Text
'Article ID: Q91705

Creation Date: 03-NOV-1992

Revision Date: 30-NOV-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 7.0, 97

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

When you enter an expression in the QBE grid, Microsoft Access does not fill a cell all the way to its right. With long expressions, it may look as if your expression or column name is cut off before the end of the cell.

CAUSE

Microsoft Access reserves a portion of the cell to display the drop-down arrow. This does not affect your expression. This behavior also occurs in property sheets.

RESOLUTION

Click the cell and press SHIFT+F2 to view the entire expression in the Zoom window. You can also change the size of the cell by dragging the cell border at the top of the grid.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 Open any database. Create a new query not based on any table or query.  Enter the following expression in the first field cell: "[UnitPrice]*[Quantity]" NOTE: In versions 1.x and 2.0, type a space in [Unit Price].  Press TAB or ENTER to move to the next column. Note that the expression appears to be truncated.

REFERENCES
