MS Access - Cannot widen tables/queries column

[KrazyKasper]

While working in MS Access I reduced the column width for the table/queries to have more room in the work area.</SPAN>
It appears I moved it too far to the left and cannot move it back to make a wider column for the table/queries list.</SPAN>
I tried "grabbing" the column as I did before but it does not even show the crossbar.
I tried Ctrl-z but that did not work.
Also tried right-clicking on the column but there is no option to change the column size.
And I looked in "options" but found nothing related to changing the column size for the queries/tables column.
Any suggestions?</SPAN>
Thanks.

For queries, you could recreate them pretty easily.
Just change your query to SQL View, and copy that SQL Code.
Then, create a new query, go to SQL View, and paste the code there.

That should re-create a new query with the default column widths.

It is not a column in a query or a single query.
I link to and have created many tables and created may queries in this database.
It is the left-hand column that lists all of the queries and tables.

I believe what you are referring to is known as the "Navigation Pane".
There is also an option to hide that in the Current Database settings.
Have you tried hitting F11?

I did try F11 and it hides/unhides the column, but it doesn't change the width (which currently is about 1/3").

I found the answer: Solved Access 2010 Object Navigation Pane size stuck very narrow - won't resize - Access World Forums
Closed the Search Bar. Now my stuck navigation panel resize worked fine. Re-opened the Search Bar. All works as normal. To turn off the Search: Right-click on the top of the Navigation Pane and turn the search off with the immediate menu.

Thanks. I did try restarting MS Access as it suggested but that did not work. What did work was closing the search bar.
