>With a grid, do we still have the possibility of freezing the first 5 columns, for example? I looked for a property for that and was unable to find it.

You can use a partitioned grid. There is an example in Foxpro Advisor, I don't know what issue. I am using it right know. The left partition has the freezed columns with no scroll bars and the right partition has scroll bars. Any attempt to access a freezed column in the right partition should be followed by scrolling the user out of that column. I can dig up source code if you like?
