Hi.

I am using PB 2017 R3 Build 1858.

When exporting a datawindow to excel12 the width of the string-columns is huge (254,29), regardless of whether the column contains onbly short texts. When using excel8 for export the columns are only 10,71 wide.

It is very boring to reduce that width every time.

  • Is it possible for me (as developer) to change that column-width?
  • Or is it planned to change that default width in one of the next releases?

Regards.

Rolf
