If you want your TABLE to find natural column widths to fit the content,
use [option=stretch] on the \bTABLE command. (NB it doesn't work as an
option to \setupTABLE, only on the actual \bTABLE.)
Then, assuming you don't need splitting over pages, you can set your
TABLE inside a vbox to define its width. (If you do need splitting, try
putting the TABLE into a textbackground - with no background color set
unless you want it - and set the width and/or margins of that?)
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I'm fighting deadlines right now, but later i'll try to get a look at
the current table thread (maybe someone can summarize the problem)
Hans
\SetTableToWidth{10cm}
\starttable[|c|c|c|]...\stoptable
set width to 10 cm, but if I don't care about cell I can have an
overfull box.
So the problem seem to be
"Can I set the total width of a TABLE using a macros like
\setupTABLE[tablewidth=10cm] ?"
To solve this problem, I usually set every cell width using
\setupTABLE[x][n][width=..];
But with \setupTABLE[tablewidth=...]
I will avoid to specify every single cell width,
and the TABLE will find the right dimensions.
I will look into core-ntb.tex.

Hmm, I change a little your code to better understand it
\starttext
\SetTableToWidth{10cm}
\setbox100=\vbox{\starttable[|c|c|c|]
\HL
\VL xxx xxx \VL xxx xxx \VL x x \VL\AR
\HL
\stoptable}
\starttyping
\SetTableToWidth{10cm}
\setbox100=\vbox{%
\starttable[|c|c|c|]
\HL
\VL xxx xxx \VL xxx xxx \VL x x \VL\AR
\HL
\stoptable}
\stoptyping
\type{\wd100=}{\tt \PtToCm{\wd100}}\par
\type{\ruledvbox{\unvbox100}:}\par
\ruledvbox{\unvbox100}
\stoptext
and I see on log
Overfull \hbox (11.63779pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 14--14
[][]\*12pf* \VL[] []xxx[] [][] []xxx[]
[]\VL[] []xx
x[] []xxx[] []\VL[] []x[] []x[] []\VL\AR
If I fix table width, I must care about cell content to avoid overfull hbox;
so fix table width is useless, because I have already calculate by
fixing cell content.
I will look into natural table to see something similar to \SetTableToWidth

Do you know, if this is possible with TABLE:
\starttext
\SetTableToWidth{10cm}
\starttable[|c|c|c|]
\HL
\VL xxx \VL xxx \VL x \VL\AR
\HL

... but this means that all column's INDIVIDUAL width=\textwidth !
But what about the TOTAL width - regardless of the individual column's
width?
With \setbox:
\setbox100=\vbox{%
\setupTABLE[...]
\bTABLE...\eTABLE%
}
ht=\the\ht100 , dp=\the\dp100 , wd= \the\wd100
and you can determine the dimensions of your table.
But I think you need to setup x dimension, so
\setupTABLE[x][width=x\textwidth]
where x = 1/number_of_columns
(x=0.25 in your example, because you have 4 columns:
so you have
\setupTABLE[x][width=0.25\textwidth]
)
