When you run a table or query, additional items appear on the View menu, and a Table menu becomes available.

Table and query views

The default view when running tables or queries is a grid view. Other options are a columnar view, which displays a single row on each page with fields arranged vertically, and a form view.

You can choose your preferred view any time in two ways:

Choose the desired view from the View menu.

Click the appropriate button on the toolbar: Grid Layout, Columnar Layout, or Form Layout.

dBASE Plus remembers your last view choice and next time you open a table, it will be in the view you last chose.

Adjusting the view

In columnar view, fields remain at their default size and cannot be widened. You can, however, enlarge the view window vertically to see more fields at once.

In grid view, you have other options:

You can resize columns and rows by pointing to a column or row border, then dragging when the pointer changes to a double-headed arrow.

You can move columns by dragging field titles to new positions.
