Anthony,
I guess the following will apply to ALL the sqlform.grid in the app,
correct ?
Generally, we have multiple different sqlform.grid across the app, and each
instance may have different columns (and thus possible needing different
column widths)
I am looking for something like "maxtextlengths" which can be changed "per
sqlform.grid" instance
