Hi Michael,

I think that this is caused by the JdbTable (or may be
Column.setWidth() called internally),  
which overrides the preferredWidth with an absolute value.
This effectively kills all methods inheritred from JTable
and further up that have to do with auto resizing the 
column widths when the table is resized after its container 
is resized. 

Unless I missed something, this JdbTable really violates 
the Java approach to component sizing, as a lot of effort 
has been put in the JTable to get this right (doLayout(), 
setPreferredWidth(), sizeColmumnsToFit(), etc.). Also
using a JdbTable in GridBagLayout doesn't work anymore
as expected.

In conclusion, I don't think there is a solution to this problem,
unless you build your own JdbTable subclass or until Borland 
provides a better one.

Regards, Paul
