Here is a Freeze Grid Coding which can be d/l at File section.

You need to Add a New Form Property: BLOCKSCROLL from menu bar.

**** Grid.AfterRowColChange event
LPARAMETERS nColIndex
THIS.SCROLLED


**** Grid.Scrolled event
LPARAMETERS nDirection
IF thisform.blockscroll=.t.
	RETURN
ENDIF
thisform.blockscroll=.t.
DO case
	CASE this.column1.columnorder=this.leftcolumn
	CASE this.column1.columnorder<=this.leftcolumn-1
		FOR n=this.column1.columnorder+1 to this.leftcolumn-1
			this.column1.columnorder=n
		ENDFOR
		this.doscroll(4)
		this.refresh
	CASE this.column1.columnorder>this.leftcolumn
		FOR n=this.column1.columnorder-1 to this.leftcolumn step -1
			this.column1.columnorder=n
		ENDFOR
		this.column1.setfocus
ENDCASE
thisform.blockscroll=.f.

Well, I'd like to tell what BUG may happen:

If you got a Column which Column width > 1/3 of the whole grid,
you may LOCK the right side column
when you Click the bottom rightmost [>] button to see the Next Column...
but you will work fine by type TAB inside grid cell.

If user Drag the non-1st column into column1 place...
All gone Crazy, (as For loop make the screen TOO many Refresh!) Flash~ Flash~ Flash~

What a suggest here as the first reply of this thread...
- split grid into 2 parts
- use code to Freeze "partition" of grid (Most likely at AfterRowColChange Event)
- Disable column1, So if user type tab within cell, it will loop to Column2 automatically.
