If you ever want someone to fail. Do what they asked!
In this case, I would use a tiny font, have a couple pixels of border in the cells.
Or I would do it nice and pretty with SCROLLBARS. Customers "Love" scrolling left/right up/down.
AND I would have a one day view, where they see the summary, click on the day, and do the details.
Come back to the summary, more like you are suggesting. Only work on the day view, that, of course,
fits nicely, clearly has multiple orders per client, etc. At least a graphic of it.
And I would HOLD BACK until the customer was just exasperated with her design, and I would whip out that graphic and say. Would this be better... It was another approach we were considering...
Good luck!

I know you're not asking for help, but intelligent queuing for this bad design is needed. Upload each individually as they come in (are selected), and provide a status bar. Save them to a temp directory, and when you're done, you can move them around using the postback script. Think GMail, etc...
You won't get 25 "parallel" uploads to work efficiently...
And designers driving business rules? I'm glad I work where I do... I drive myself.

Funny, the "Visual" Designer, can't grasp your concept. So build it, and let it come crashing down and let the higher ups deal with her.
Whatever happened to getting a design on a napkin and running with it
And it's never a bad week to quit smoking. The fact that her design already makes you nauseous you might as well go throw the withdrawal now.
You'll be glad down the road....about the design and just building it and quiting smoking...Maybe if you have a future craving you can think about that design and shudder..

Only a very small fraction of the world's scientists is divided over this question.

Fortunately for you, this discussion is about as rational as it can be (at least for the Lounge).

The remainder of this thread may yield no tangible dividends, but times being what they are, I thought I'd add to the discussion. What difference does it make, anyway?

political correctness in-fraction.
numbers should get equal treatment and not labelled differently, regardless of coming from above or below the line.

the any key okay

The divide is narrow, but very deep.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

There are multiple trains of thought on this subject.

Only a fractional difference IMO.

The answer could be slanted...

So I was searching for "Max height Volkswagen"
First result is about "Sizing with CSS3's vw and vh units".
Yes, quotation marks helps, but still.
<edit>To clarify, I do understand what's happening, I just find that using a generic substitution without taking the context into consideration is more than a little bit stupid.
It might work better when the "Semantic Web" get a wider usage.</edit>
