I set up a database and I am trying to make 1 column longer then the rest and 1 column shorter the the other 5 columns.

Whatever number I plug into the Display Width box, it seems that no change has been made to any of the columns width. The size remains the same as if it was set to default zero.

There are limitations to how much adjusting can be done, due to dynamic html rendering requirements. For example, for a table entry of type "single line text," a browser may refuse to split or truncate a lengthy word, even if you make the column width shorter. So you may find that your browser refuses to render a column at a narrower width than the width of the longest word found among all the entries in that column. I hope that made sense.

Also make sure that all whitespace in table entries consist of regular spaces (ASCII 32). If you've pasted something into the table that contains html non-breaking spaces ( ), text-wrapping cannot occur there.

Perhaps most importantly, keep in mind that these Display Widths are in pixels, not characters. How things wrap will depend on both screen width and font size...what looks good on your screen may be horrible on someone else's. For that reason I recommend that you stick with the 0 defaults.

If none of this dissuades you from leaving well enough alone, it's best to play with these column settings one at a time. As a first approximation, try incrementally decreasing the width of the column you want to make narrower, while leaving the rest at zero. Once you get to the point that you like the width of this column you can then experiment with making the other one wider.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
