I start my field (woops column) names with an underscore. This screws up the alignment of column headings and data columns  in the EDBMan editor

I'm not sure what I can do about that - it is what it is.

Any idea why?

Are you talking about the fact that the underscore shifts the column
headings over one character, or are you talking about the column headings
being off from the actual columns in the grid view of a table/query result
set ?  If it's the latter, then it has nothing to do with the underscores -
it's just a bug caused by the change I made regarding the right-click/open
bug that you reported.  It's already been fixed.

Just wondering what was the thing you couldn't do anything about and from the above I suppose its M$'s decision to use underscore as the accelerator key identifier.

I understand, but I was confirming whether what I thought you were talking
about was correct.  There's an issue in B6 where the column headers in a
data grid get out of synch with the actual columns in the grid.  I was
wondering if this is what you were seeing.

Yes the column headers all look left shifted about 2.5 characters (inc underscore)

Yep, that's the bug.

Thanks,
