Sorry about the mis spelling.

David unfortunately, Access does not save the layout of the query in design mode. It will reset it every time you open it. Having said that, queries are to be used and not seen so it is just a minor inconvenience.

David Sami, as usual is correct, the query itself won't save the layout. However, I do often like to be able to see my raw queries when working on a database project since I have a large monitor, I like to be able to position them where I want at the size I want, just like forms. That is the key to keeping your layout.

While they are not popular or recommended for end users, you can create a simple form (you don't even need to do any formatting as it will look like a table/query datasheet). Change the default view to "Datasheet".

If you want the fields to be listed in a certain order, just set the tab order property of the fields in the order you want them left to right. Any fields that show up you don't want to see, you can either hide in datasheet view, or drag them to the form header/footer since datasheets don't display those. Then, you can usually save that form layout and it will open the same way every time.
