Forcing datagrid to expand horizontally instead of vertically

I've got a grid that uses paging and displays a maximum of 10 records
at a time.
Sometimes the fields have a lot of data in them and the datagrid takes
up way too much horizontal space. I've tried setting the height and it
doesn't do anything. I can set the width to some very large number
like 3000px and that works ok, but it's a waste when the data doesn't
require that much space.
Is there a way to limit the height of the grid or of the rows
themselves and force the grid to expand horizontally instead of
vertically when there is a lot of data?
I've seen some examples of using divs with scrolling, but I don't want
the user to have to scroll vertically. Scrolling horizontally and
having the grid take up several pages sideways is fine.

Thanks

Hi,

how about using dataList with paging? You could put DataList to repeat
horizontally.

I really want the display to look like a grid, so I'm not sure if there
is a way to do that with a datalist, but even if there is, it's not a
big enough deal for me to spend a bunch of time rewriting code. I was
just hoping that there was something fairly simple I could do to limit
the grid to a certain height or limit each row to a certain number of
lines of text. But everything I try just seems to get ignored by IE
when it's time to render the html.
