[GNC] Help with Column that Vanished

[Rob Britton | AirLearn]

Geoff,

Many thanks.  The 200% display trick did it -- a couple of tries to get the Withdrawal column to appear, and there it was, hooray.

I'll make a contribution, for sure.

And sure would be great if, as other users have noted, the Description column could be reduced and not auto-adjust to fill the space. 

Thank you again for your responsiveness.

Hi Rob

You are not the only one to "lose" a column.  If Adrian's instructions below don't work, have a look at this thread:

Which includes screenshots for Windows 10.

Good luck!

Geoff
