Keep them hidden.

They won't print.

Any other suggestions?

If you change the foreground colour to the background colour for the
columns you do not want to see, then they should not appear on a
printout. This does not really fix your problem, though.

Have no other suggestions because hidden columns normally do not print.

Are you, by any chance, "hiding" them by letting them scroll off the
screen and then setting Frames?

Amste, Try right clicking on the column heading for the column you wish
to hide and choosing "Hide" on the menu that appears. To unhide,
highlight the two columns headings on either side, right click
somewhere in the two column headings and choose "Unhide".

Hi Gord,
The right way to hide columns so they won't print is by right clicking and
choosing hide columns. I was highlighting the columns I wanted to hide and
dragging them to the next column so they wouldn't appear however, they will
print when you do this.
Thanks for your help.

I was wondering if you just changed the width and did not actually hide them.

Now I know.

Thanks, Gord
