Hi, Can you try removing width="100%" from DataGrid tag and see if that works?

I want to display the columns with the exact width that I have set, but what seems to be happening is that the third column "grows" to fit its text. Is there a way to truncate the text that goes into the column to just display the part that will fit (truncate the string) ? Thanks very much for any advice, code pasted below: <mx:DataGrid id="itemsHistoryDataGrid" variableRowHeight="true" dataProvider="{noteListResult}" vGridLines="false" change="onNoteGridSelection()" width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:columns> <mx:Array> <mx:DataGridColumn columnName="noteDate" headerText="Date" width="30"/> <mx:DataGridColumn columnName="personId" headerText="Sender" width="30"/> <mx:DataGridColumn columnName="desc" headerText="Description" width="30"/> </mx:Array> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> Yahoo!
