Width of report tables on form

When I edit the report table, the width is PERFECT. but when I link it to the form, on the form it is just extremely wide. Even if I try to take out a column to make it less wide, it just stretches ...

Ya, so QuickBase tends to spread out or squeeze tighter according to the space available. You will need to contrive to give it less space by putting some other form elements beside it. These can be fields of text elements (words).

I did a test and made a text element on the form and put these in the box
with html enabled. The   stands for an html non-break space. An invisible space. But it takes up space to the right of the report link field.

  Wow, you are amazing. Okay, so add a field next to it -- would it be a rich text field?? Sorry, still learning

    You could use a Rich Text field, but probably easier way is just on the form setup add an element to the form just after you report, of type "text" (near the top of he list) and you can enter any text you like in the box. But set the checkbox to HTML. i probably have to many   but you can play with it. Let me know if it works.
