table not formatting correctly

[Brian]

I can not seem to get my table to format correctly and no matter how much I
look at it I can't find an error in my coding. There should be 7 columns in
the table. The first 6 are all 50 pixels wide, and the last should be the
remaining width of the page. The first 4 columns are working correctly, but
5 & 6 are coming out too wide for some reason. The code is below and I hope
someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. The border is on so it's easier
to troubleshoot.

Thanks in advance.

<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="50" align="center" valign="top">______</td>
<td width="50" align="center" valign="top">______</td>
<td width="50" align="center" valign="top">______</td>
<td colspan="4">TARIFF MAPPING/APPROVAL</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="50" align="center" valign="top">______</td>
<td width="50" align="center" valign="top">______</td>
<td width="50" align="center" valign="top">______</td>
<td width="50">&nbsp;</td>
<td colspan="3">Pull old Tariff pages from Teleview for reference</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="50" align="center" valign="top">______</td>
<td width="50" align="center" valign="top">______</td>
<td width="50" align="center" valign="top">______</td>
<td width="50">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="50">&nbsp;</td>
<td colspan="2" align="left">O:\audit\entry.xls</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="50" align="center" valign="top">______</td>
<td width="50" align="center" valign="top">______</td>
<td width="50" align="center" valign="top">______</td>
<td width="50">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="50">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="50">&nbsp;</td>
<td>Date: ________</td>
</tr>

What problem are you encountering? If you don't specify the table width, it
won't take the rest of the available space: it will take what it thinks it
needs. See whether

<td WIDTH="*">Date: ________</td>

improves the situation
