Did you just try setting width and not minwidth?

The DataGridColumn widths are systematically ignored (columns are all scrunched up within the boundaries of the outside container) and they take up their default width (100) if I set minWidth to a random value (even if it's greater than 100!). I'd appreciate any help. Here's a piece of the code (there's not much more...): <mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> " width="100 %" height="100 %"> <mx:DataGrid width="100%" height="100%" lockedColumnCount="2" horizontalScrollPolicy="on" variableRowHeight="true"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Start Date" dataField="TBD" minWidth="200" resizable="false" /> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="End Date" dataField="TBD"minWidth="50" resizable="false" /> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Risk" dataField="TBD"minWidth="50" /> ... Thanks, Chris.
