The bane of my existence is re-sizing columns in QB Enterprise desktop. I HATE it.  As you put it, the program is NOT cheap and yet, every function, every day, I'm re-sizing columns to be able to see or copy/paste the info I need to record against my transactions - mainly because it will not accommodate the customization I need.

Even the fixed fields can't be resized such as "customer message" in estimates, or even the terms field.  Those boxes are TINY.  I don't want to have to print preview in order to view BASIC info.

I keep checking back (like today when I saw your post) and there has been ZERO movement on this front.  I can't even get it to retain a re-sequencing of columns.  Example:  I need my PO# in the memo field, so I add that as a display column and it will only show me part of the number, so I have to re-size to see it.  I try moving the column to the left, but no, it still shows me only part of the data.  Then the next time I go to look at the PO field, it's shrunken again or moved back to the far right.  It's infuriating.

And QBO is NOT any better.  In fact, it's WORSE.  There's no way I could do my normal functions if I had to rely on QBO to do it.  It will only do BASIC functions and it's in no way laid out like the desktop Enterprise version.
