My customer wants me to change a grid dw to show a field on a line by itself and be wider then col_1 - ala Excel.

so the data would look like

    customer, order_no

row 1 "Slimy Sales Company with a very long name", ""

row 2 "", "123456"

so I could so something width = if(order_no = '', 200, 1200) 

I have set up wide columns in the header using the foreground but I have never figured out how to do anything like this in detail.

Hi,

I'm not sure if I fully understand what you want to achieve, but when you set the width for a column in a grid datawindow, that width will be applied to all the rows. You cannot make it different between rows, not even using an expression in the width attribute.

You can try, using a NON-grid datawindow type like tabular.

Edit the source code of your datawindow and replace "processing=1" with "processing=0"

Yep .. that is the only way. The grid DW style just won't allow you that kind of column flexibility.
