John, are you adjusting column widths manually or via syntax (with the VARIABLE WIDTH command)? If manually, does the same thing happen when you do it via syntax before saving the file?

John F Hall wrote

If I swap the columns around in the Data Editor, save and re-open, the
display retais the new column order. However if I adjust the column widths
to see variable and value labels in full, then save and re-open, the display
defaults to narrow columns again. Is there any way to save the Data Editor
as last displayed?
