Hi
I cannot figure why my default grids are way too big, horizontally. They open on a page and stretch all the way to the far-east. Where do I set default widths?
Thank you

Have noted similar post a couple down from this one. My situation occurs during design time. If the grid has more than a few fields, even if there is no data in the fields, the grid skids off the page and I have to scroll horizontally to access all the fields. Then have to set the widths in code but not sure why this is happening. Seems a litlte wasteful to have to do this manually.

Hi
It's version 3
No I have not spoken to support, should I rather speak to them?
I am not really sure when to post here and when to ask support for help

Post are community targeted, find people with same interest/problems,
helpful.
Support when it seems that the product is malfunctioning or not performing
tasks as expected, must be helpful 
Your grids seem to be too big, overflowing the page, because:
1/ many fields with long names
2/Internationalisation "on" and the Grids header display is filled with
prefix, tablename, postfix etc.
this happens to me mostly when table is on a joined SQL sturcture because
then it tries to build a tableheader based on the compound name.
Personally, I don't see it as a big problem, although at first it seems a
lot of scroll work.
Now as I am a practical man, I have a 20"inch 16:9 widescreen display.
Cost a lot of money, but hey, it does save me scrolling.

Well I am a two-monitor man, so not really too much of a practical issue either but does not seem right. Field names are not too big, things like "name", "street" etc. Am just wondering now whether it might be linked to the field size. Don't think I paid a lot of attention to field size when setting up the db, might have set "name" et al 50 characters. Wonder if that could be it . Will check it out tonight. Will also look at the internationalisation settings.
Thanks Walter.

Yep,50 each will spread anything up!
Also Panelling, if you generate grid with panel for each column, it does.
Generally I don't generate a grid for all fields, just the meaningfull ones.

Darn, I'm going to have to talk to the bank. Keeping up with the Kempees's will put me into serious deficit territory.
Agree only generate panel for meaningful fields.
Thanks for the help

Change the font size in Style.css will make the table a little bit smaller.
Such As, change 13px to 8px, Give it a try.
