MS Access How can I delete empty columns?
Problem:
When viewing the table in a form, there are 10 extra columns which reflects the actual table.
(these columns are grayed out, not being used)
How can I delete the columns I'm not using?

How to tell which column to delete?. This will change the table structure. Explain more.

There are a bunch of columns on the right of my table/form datasheet view grayed out, not being used. I would like to delete these blank columns to prevent scrolling to the right and seeing blank columns.
I will post an example if needed.

use a query as record source of the form
in the query, DO NOT include those fields that are not used or empty

or open the form in design view and delete those controls

I not aware of any controls.
Sample attached - please look at the projects table - why is there a lot of scrolling to the right? This affects my form due to the scrolling coming along.
How do I eliminate all this blank space to the right?

you only have a table in the the db, where is the form?
ASKER
OK, form enclosed.
Database10.accdb
Database10.accdb
so which column you don't want to see?
open the form, right click on the column you don't want to see and select hide column
to resize wide columns select column size
save the form

I want to view all of my columns - not the blank space to the right which causes scrolling.
If your monitor/window doesn't fit all of the columns being used it provides a lot of empty space to the right.
