An idea: you can fake a lower scrollbar, or simulate it with a container with buttons and such. When the user clicks on the right part of it, or (independent from this scrollbar) presses right arrow, do something like this:

thisform.columnoffset=thisform.columnoffset+1
grid.column1.controlsource="subs(sourcefield, 5*thisform.columnoffset+1)"
grid.refresh

The custom property thisform.columnoffset should start at 0. In the symmetrical event (scroll left) you should have

thisform.columnoffset=max(thisform.columnoffset-1,0)
grid.column1.controlsource="subs(sourcefield, 5*thisform.columnoffset+1)"
grid.refresh

You could extend this (if it works - I didn't try it!) to include ctrl+arrows to go straight to the rightmost part of the longest string or to reset to the left.
