Any suggestions?

import java.awt.BorderLayout;

public class HorizScrollTable extends JPanel {

column.setPreferredWidth(width);

Thanks, that is perfect in all but one respect ...
Unfortunately the table headings no longer show.

In case I've misread your message, here is my revised constructor:

HorizScrollTable() {
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
JTable table = new JTable(data, headings); // headings!

for (int i = 0; i < headings.length; i++) {
TableColumn column = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
int width = widths[i];
column.setPreferredWidth(width);
column.setMinWidth(width);
}

JPanel p = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
p.add(table, BorderLayout.CENTER);
p.setPreferredSize(table.getPreferredSize());
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(p);

add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
}

Is it impossible to have horizontal scrolling AND headings?
