Glad I could help.

>>Tim,
>>In previous version of VF I found that the column width only really worked if you had more than 1 column. I used to add a dummy column to ensure sizing was correct. Make sure you set the second column to 0 and turn columnlines off

.ColumnCount=2
>>.ColumnLines=.F.
>>.ColumnWidth=100,0

>>HTH

>COOL, that just fixed something which has been going on my nerves for the longest time and i thought it was a bug from Vfp6.0.
>I am populating the drop down with an array. All i had to do add the 2nd column to the drop down, add a 2nd empty column to the array, ColumnCount=2, ColumnLines=.F.. i didn't even had to set the column width, just leaved it blank - WORKS GREAT.
