SQL wrapping issue

[Joe Olsen]

I just switched from Windows 95 to Windows NT. Now when I query a SQL Server
table in either ISQL or SQL Programmer, if there are more than a certain
number of columns in the table and I do a 'Select * from...' the latter columns
wrap and display over the first columns, making them unreadable. Any ideas
on on how to fix this???

Get a really, really large monitor and set the resolution to very small
letters. Actually, it has been my experience where the result comes up with
a scroll bar to allow you to scroll left and right (or vice versa). Check
your configuration in Query, Options, Format Options of Isql/w. Column
aligned is the default. If you have something else, this may be the
problem.

I use SQL Programmer all the time and don't have this problem. I use it from
NT, Win 2K, and 95. Are you having the problem when you print or when you
view on the screen? If your data has embedded line returns it could cause
some interesting results.
