    Resize the column that shows Tables, Forms, etc on the form design screen


    Somehow the column that displays the lists of tables, queries, forms, etc. on the form design screen got narrowed to the point of being unusable. Can't find anywhere on the right vertical line to grab and drag it bigger. How can I increase the column width? I'm in Access 2016. Thanks!

    No - I'm not able to grab it. I shut down and re-started, but that didn't help either. Looking for some menu item to specify a column width?

    Note I can grab the Navigation column in other databases - the right vertical border is wider - but not in the one database with the issue. Tried compact and repair - no luck.

    Try Hitting F11 to collapse the pane to the minimized mode, then drag it out.
