Q2008 - how to resize columns in Scheduled Transactions window

No.

When Quicken columns can be resized, they have a double line in their heading: you won't see that double line in the Scheduled Transactions window.

Not every column, in every Quicken window, can be resized.

Quicken is an "application"; not "the" operating system.

Providing added capabilities, creates added costs: not all costs make economic sense.

Try getting a monitor with a wider screen.

Duh, no kidding...

The first 'No' would've sufficed. Thanks for the info!!!

Duh, yourself.

It was you who pretended that you expected Quicken to act like the operating system.

Is it really your contention that this 'trait' is confined to OS's (if so, you are wrong...)?

And given your previous statement:

"> When Quicken columns can be resized, they have a double line in

Do you mean that Quicken does indeed "act like an OS" at least part of the time (which means that you owe the OP an apology)? And telling the OP to "Try getting a monitor with a wider screen." isn't what I would consider sound advice. In fact, your entire response is not only unhelpful, but somewhat acidic. I don't think the OP's question is as ridiculous as your response seems to convey it is. His response: "Duh, no kidding..." is appropriate, given the tone of your response. Having a bad day, are we?

Please do not babble at me. I said nothing that would suggest to a normal human being that "this trait" (or any "trait") is "confined to OS's".

If by "this trait", you mean the ability to resize columns, apparently you started replying to sentences in my post before you read it all. I clearly stated otherwise, as you noted below in your own reply.

I meant EXACTLY what I said: not what you ignorantly pretend I said. Do you have a problem understanding the language? There was nothing in my statement about "acting like an OS". My statement said that Quicken will indicate to you when you can resize columns: I did not say, and I did not imply, anything different.

I'm not responsible for your stupidity. If you don't have enough room on your screen for all the data you want to view ... get a larger moniter. What's so unsound about that. Do you think all those monitor manufacturers are selling so many larger monitors because folks like cramped views of their data?

There is much more than customer convenience involved in determining how much data the software can display in one row in one pane on some screen.

When you have designed software that can compete with Quicken for quality and price; and you, by doing so, can demonstrate that every column in every pane on every screen can be resizeable, and keep your product competetive ... come back here and show me your work.

In fact your entire response is completely moronic.

Settle down, now. I suggest you re-read your post. I'll not re-quote it here simply to prove you wrong.

I do appear to have touched a nerve, though. Enjoy your life.

No, it's just another Windows application hence, I expected it to have some of the more common traits, like resizing columns. If it was programmed using Windows tools, e.g., .NET (I don't know this) then these 'features' should already be built in.

Application is NOT EQUAL to OS.

Which is exactly what I said in response to:

"I move my cursor over the | between the columns and left-click (like a Windows window) but nothing happens"

Either every window is a "Windows window" (in which case your parenthetical qualification was confusingly redundant); or a "Windows window" is an operating system window, one that comes with the the operating system and is created by the operating system developers, and would be present even if no applications were present - as opposed to an "application" window created by an application developer. What other interpretation would there be.

So what is the difference between a Quicken window, a Money window, a Norton Anti-Virus window (all of which have some non-resizeable columns), and a "Windows window".

To say nothing of the difference between "columns" within a window, and the boundaries of a window. (Because a window is resizeable, does not mean that columns within a window will, or should, be resizeable.)

There was no reason to include any qualifying information about what it meant to resize columns (and good reason not to try): A simple: "Is there any way to resize the columns in the Scheduled Transactions window?" would have completely defined the information you sought.

Quicken has some resizeable columns (and determining which are resizeable, is quite straight-forward). Something which should have given you a big leg up on the answer to your question. But it it appears your "expectations" got in the way of asking the simple question.
