Expand columns in reports

Having an issue with one of my users.

- Only happens on her computer (others and remote server are fine)

- Multiple profiles on the same pc (admin and hers)

- Rebooting and relaunching Quickbooks doesn't resolve the issue

 

When she opens up the reports, the columns can't be adjusted in width at all. Screenshot shows the columns i'm talking about. This is for all reports.

Expand columns in reports

Hi there, @SconetBryan

 

I’m here to help fix the challenges you’ve encountered in QuickBooks Desktop. There are some reasons why this occurs, which may cause damage data, and we can fix this by performing the Verify data and Rebuild utility tools in QuickBooks Desktop. This way, it'll return to its default order and automatically fixes minor company record data issues.  

 

If the program is in multi-user mode, you need to change to single user mode (Go to File -> Switch to Single User Mode). It is very important that you have to create a backup copy of your company file before running Verify and Rebuild Data.  

 

Verify Data: 

 

  1. Press the File menu. 
  2. Choose Utilities from the drop-down option.  
  3. Select Verify Data
  4. Tap Ok to continue. 

 

 

 

Note: If the verify process is successful, you are done. In case it fails due to some problem, QuickBooks will notify you to run Rebuild data.

 

Rebuild Data:

 

  1. Click the File tab at the top. 
  2. Select Utilities from the drop-down option. 
  3. Choose Rebuild Data
  4. Click Ok on Rebuild has completed.  

 

 

 

When the verify/rebuilding data finished, we can close and reopen your file to revamp it. Or restart your computer to refresh your QuickBooks data.  

 

However, if the issue persists after doing the steps above, I suggest contacting our QuickBooks Desktop Support Team. They can further investigate why you're getting this error and help you navigate using one of their tools.

 

Before doing so, please check out our support hours to ensure that we address your concerns on time. Here's how to connect with our Customer teams: 

 

  1. Sign in to your company account, then click Help.
  2. Choose QuickBooks Desktop Help.
  3. Hit Contact Us
  4. Enter the question in the description field, then click Search
  5. Select either Message Us or Call Us.      

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just a heads up, we have limited staffing and have reduced our support hours to 6 AM-6 PM PT Monday-Friday due to COVID-19. We will resume normal hours as soon as possible.
