Good point, in the actual case there were two columns, a name and a number. The reason for using the table is align the name to the left and the number to the right. So a more realistic example is something like \starttext \bTABLE \setupTABLE[c][1][align=right] \setupTABLE[c][2][align=left]

Hi But I don't understand why you want to split a table over columns. You can reach this effect by using offsets (or empty columns if you use backgrounds or frames), beside from the (in my eyes) strange look. And how will you guarantee that a complete table line is horizontally aligned
