HI David, Excellent - I've created a new schema data file and it has allowed me to specify which fields are dates so the straight tabular view interprets dates correctly.
Using ex:formats fixed my problem with the fixed column widths - thanks for both these. I've been inspired to help with the Wiki so I've created a login (pfred60 is me) and will tweak little bits of the Exhibit and possibly Timeline sections with things I've learnt from this list or by experimentation. Hopefully it will help others in the future. Once again thanks - I've got a few more questions later I'm sure Cheers Peter -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Huynh Sent: Friday, 14 March 2008 5:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; General List Subject: Re: Exhibit: Controlling the Table View Peter Frederick wrote: > Hi David, > > Thanks for the tips.
