Are you saying that you cannot change the width of the name-col on the
grid? OR are you saying that size changes on the grid are not shown
in the FieldsDisplayWidth property or the TIB_Column.DisplayWidth
properties? (This latter option has never been the case, changes to
the grid display width never impacted directly on column properties
and are not intended to.)

For grid specific width information you may find it useful to read the
online help TIB_CustomGrid.GridLinks for details about the WIDTH and
ALIGN params to the GridLinks entries.

From memory this was setup so that changes made to the columns on the
grid itself where stored in the GridLinks (the Width param added).
