Width |
Optional |
Integer |
A number that specifies the width of the field specified with FieldName. The default value is 10 for new fields. |
Align |
Optional |

Example
The following example creates a new table based on the Task Usage table and adds the table to the Table drop-down menu. The macro adds the Priority field as the second column with a title and width of 12, changes the default date format, and then makes the new table the active view.
Sub CreateNewTaskUsageTable()
TableEdit Name:="Usage", TaskTable:=True, Create:=True, _
NewName:="Priority Tasks"
TableEdit Name:="Priority Tasks", TaskTable:=True, _
NewFieldName:="Priority", Title:="Priority", Width:=12, _
ShowInMenu:=True, DateFormat:=pjDate_mm_dd_yy, _
ColumnPosition:=1
TableApply "Priority Tasks"
End Sub
