Nor even enough to fill the container. Setting a width of 0 makes the datagrid remember its constraint layout. Some other intresting factors in my test case if I leave on column not dynamically created specified in the mxml, and replace it with the dynamic columns then it works correctly. The other point is that it still occurs even if horizontal scroll policy is set to on. (Which is actually the way I want it to work). Again I got this reply when I was at home so it will have to wait until tomorrow if I produce a test case. My test case was simply adding a data grid to an application and either giving it a right constraint or a percentage width. The I created a loop and created an array of DataGridColumn headers. Then I set this array as the datagrid column array. Anyway thanks for your time Manis. Wesley
