    disappearing columns and moving column content in access 2013

    I have got a problem with disappearing columns and moving column content in the table view of access 2013.



    When I delete any column in the normal table view of access 2013, this column disappears, which is normal. However, also the column to the right of the deleted column disappears and all the content in columns further to the right tend to shift to the left. So I miss a column and some of my content ends up in the wrong column. But if I then go to the design view, I see all the right columns and if I then go back to table views, everything seems to be restored correctly.

    I've been working with access for a long time, also with this 2013 version, and I never had the same problem before. The problem occurs in every database I open, even new test tables. So the problem is not just in one defect file. Maybe it is some kind of setting or a bug. But I have already re-installed Office Professional 2013 and the problem still exists.

    Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    Another reason not to upgrade to 2013!

    Why delete columns? Do you really want them removed from the table?

    I don't know if there is any solution other than to do design edits in design view.
