>>Well, isn't Excel an entirely other application?! The way the left pane of the vfp-grid behaves is the way it was intended for vfp. Having said that, it is of course your decision to make it behave differently. But the consequence is that it is then also your job to find out how to realize that. As to my/our knowledge, there has not been built in a property to realize what you want. But anything is possible, after extended coding, I guess. Will it be worth the trouble? You tell us. Good luck.

Lucky you that you have vfp9 and that the vfpteam implemented it just in time. ;)
Anybody who wants that behavior and who doesn't have version 9 will have a hard time coding it, so they'll have another argument to upgrade.
Personally, I have vfp9 only since last week and for me the advantage of this thread is that it has made me aware of the new LockColumns/LockColumnsLeft properties. But I wonder whether I'll ever make use of it.
