Changing the width of table column based on data returned

I would like to size the width of a table column to be big enough for the
data being returned. I don't seem to be able to use and expression for the
width parameter. How might I dynamically resize the with of table columns?THere is a property of a textbox which will allow its size to grow to fit
the text value... Just check the box...

The only thing I've seen so far in all my playing around is a height
increase/decrease, not a width version. Rightclick the field in question,
and choose properties. On the first tab is "Can increase to accomodate
contents" and "Can decrease to accomodate contents". I don't know why MS
doesn't have a dynamic width increase. Maybe the Dev team didn't put it in
so it wouldn't mess with the column structure.
