Enter the cell address in one cell and the width to the cell to the right.
Make the active cell the left of the two cells. for example below make cell
E1 the active cell when calling my macro below

E1 F1
A1 2

The above will make cell A1 columnwidth 2
For a different sheet

E1 F1
sheet2!A1 2

Then use this macro

Sub changewidth()

CellAddress = ActiveCell.Text
Cellwidth = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value

Range(CellAddress).ColumnWidth = Cellwidth

End Sub

Great this works,
Now if i want to extend this such that
i want to have first column as sheet name
ie

1.csv E1 F1
1.csv A1 2
2.csv E1 F1

2.CSV A1 2
so that I can read each sheet and colun name so that the value of each
sheet and column name is null?
What would be the best way of doing this.Thanks in anticipation.
