Hmmm ... I just tried your scenario by changing the width of a column that you have to get to using the horizontal scroll bar (our grid is about 25 columns). I then saved the grid settings (we trigger it via a right click and a context menu selection), close the app, and restart it. The new width on the column is displayed correctly.
I'll have one of our sales reps try in in the production environment and report back. --Jake ---- "Ian M.
