Embedded image links do not work on this forum.

Here are the links that did not display in my previous post.

Hopefully the links will work, without having to copy/paste to the address bar.

Because we use a lot of custom fields, our typical invoice has 17 columns.

With Lot Numbers, it will be 18 columns.

There is no way to read/expand all the columns.

We are constantly having to manually resize many of the columns on invoices, sales orders, and purchase orders, which is very time consuming and unproductive.

What I have requested several times is for Intuit to add a horizontal scroll bar on the bottom of invoices, sales orders, and purchase orders. The Item List also needs one.

Below is a pic/link of one of our invoices.

When the columns are populated with data, there is no way to see/read all the data.

Intuit has used horizontal scroll bars, such as on the Add/Edit Multiple List Entries window.

At a minimum, Intuit should add a horizontal scroll bar to Enterprise Invoices/Sales Orders/Purchase Orders, because Enterprise has 15 custom fields.

Also, with Enterprise Advanced Inventory, additional columns are needed for Site location, and Lot Number / Serial Number.

With all these columns of data, a horizontal scroll bar is needed in the Enterprise version.

I don’t use Alt+W (or the Window menu) because it won’t show me ALL the windows that are open if you have a long list of windows. But, I do have a large monitor, so space isn’t an issue for me. In fact, I have four monitors on my computer…

Also, one thing about the Open Window List is that you see it right there – without pressing a key – so you are reminded that you have all these windows open.

However, thanks for pointing this out. The “Keep previously saved desktop” option shows ONLY IF you have selected the “Save current desktop” option. In my screen shot above, I had never used the “save current desktop” option with this file, so that option doesn’t show.

There are a lot of ways to manage the preferences here. And you can save a lot of hassles by either not saving the desktop OR by saving it (and then “keeping it” as you point out) with a small number of windows being open.

I believe that by default the system will save the curent desktop when closing company, although I would have to do some testing to check on that. And this can lead to problems as I outline. The “Open Window List” still has value even if you manage your desktop windows so they aren’t all opening when you start up, as it helps you manuever between the windows in a simple manner.
