Wait a second here, guys. I tested the Scrolled event and only found it works with direct hits to the scroll bar. Didn't seem to work when a user was tabbing through fields and the grid scrolled automatically. That made any solution using Scrolled less than complete. Am I missing something?

>>>Does anybody know how to lock a column in a grid control ? I have a grid with about 20 columns, and I always want the first 2 to be visible, regardless of the relativecolumn property.

>>>Any help would be much appreciated.
