Anyway to resize the columns in the Scheduled Transactions
window? I move my cursor over the | between the columns
and left-click (like a Windows window) but nothing happens.

No.

When Quicken columns can be resized, they have a double line in
their heading: you won't see that double line in the Scheduled
Transactions window.

Not every column, in every Quicken window, can be resized.

Quicken is an "application"; not "the" operating system.

Providing added capabilities, creates added costs: not all costs
make economic sense.

Try getting a monitor with a wider screen.

Duh, yourself.

It was you who pretended that you expected Quicken to act like
the operating system.

Is it really your contention that this 'trait' is confined to OS's (if so,
you are wrong...)?

And given your previous statement:

"> When Quicken columns can be resized, they have a double line in

> their heading: you won't see that double line in the Scheduled

> Transactions window."

Do you mean that Quicken does indeed "act like an OS" at least part of the
time (which means that you owe the OP an apology)? And telling the OP to
"Try getting a monitor with a wider screen." isn't what I would consider
sound advice. In fact, your entire response is not only unhelpful, but
somewhat acidic. I don't think the OP's question is as ridiculous as your
response seems to convey it is. His response: "Duh, no kidding..." is
appropriate, given the tone of your response. Having a bad day, are we?
