Datagrid column width

Hi,

I am having real trouble changing the width of a column on a datagrid. I
have tried changing the size of an existing column and adding a new column
with the width predefined but nothing seems to have any effect and its
driving me mad. Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong. I have
pasted some sample code below.

With DGUsers

..DataSource = DSUsers

..DataMember = "UserList"

Dim CCompany As New BoundColumn

CCompany.DataField = "Company"

CCompany.HeaderText = "Company"

CCompany.ItemStyle.Width = New Unit(3000, UnitType.Mm)

..Columns.Add(CCompany)

end with

Thanks in advance.

Try setting for the grid css rule table-layout:fixed.
