When you hit edit in a datagrid and the textboxes for each field display,
how do you set the width for each textbox?

Use an <asp:templatecolumn>
Then use an <itemtemplate> for display and an
<edititemtemplate> for the editing.

The <edititemtemplate> allows a width attribute.

<asp:templatecolumn headertext="User Id" 
	itemstyle-forecolor="#3300ff" itemstyle-font-bold="True">

	<itemtemplate><%# Container.DataItem( "userid" )%></itemtemplate>
	<edititemtemplate>
		<asp:textbox font-bold="True" forecolor="Red" id="txtRecId" 
		text='<%# Container.DataItem( "userid" )%>' runat="server"
width="45px" />
	</edititemtemplate>
</asp:templatecolumn>
<asp:templatecolumn headertext="Last Name" itemstyle-forecolor="#3300ff" 
	itemstyle-font-bold="True">

	<itemtemplate><%# Container.DataItem( "last" )%></itemtemplate>
	<edititemtemplate>
		<asp:textbox font-bold="True" forecolor="Red" id="txtLast" 
		text='<%# Container.DataItem( "last" )%>' runat="server"
width="95px" />
	</edititemtemplate>
</asp:templatecolumn>
