Ok, I see what you're trying to do now. That's much different than hiding the column. There's been several threads about locking columns, but from what I saw of them I never saw an answer.

Rather than rebuilding the whole grid, maybe you could use Ed's idea. As you scroll right, use removeobject (or was that remove column?) to remove the left most scrolling column. As they scroll left, put it back.

I've never tried this, so I don't know how well it would work. It might be slow and jerky. Turning lockscreen on might help.

>Thank you for your prompt reply. However, I am slightly concerned about the speed of re-building a grid.
>I have left another message which outlines what I'm trying to do. But essentially, I am trying to create a grid which allows the developer to "lock" a number of columns starting from the leftmost column and "scroll" through the rest of the columns. If you have used MS Project or MS Excel, it is similar in nature to ID or Row column.
