Is it possible to add column freeze without using active reports?

Thanks!

Have a look for HFREEZE.

Thanks, but HFREEZE only freezes Headers and Footers. I'm looking for column freeze i.e..first three columns stay put and then the rest of the columns are scrollable. I know you can do this with active reporting.

the HFREEZE is available from version 7.7 ?

Oops, a senior moment.

I'm sure there was a similar post in the last six months related to column freezing.

By the way, I think HFREEZE became available in 7.6.5

Like Waz mentions, a lot of techniques were posted in this subject. If you don't find any, this will help you.

END

-HTMLFORM END

create a css folder and create the css file below:

/* lockcol.css */

div#tbl-container {
width: expression(document.body.clientWidth-20);
height: expression(document.body.clientHeight-30);
overflow: auto;
}

.locked {
left: expression(document.getElementById("tbl-container").scrollLeft);
font-weight: bold;
position: relative;
style: normal;
background-color: white;
border-top:solid;
border-left:solid;
border-width:1px;
font-family : Arial;
font-size : 8pt;
border-color : RGB(172 168 153);
padding-top: 1px;
padding-bottom: 1px;
z-index: 10;
}

Thanks, I'll give this a try..I really searched the forum for awhile before I posted about column freeze..every topic that came up was hfreeze..which is as we know only for headers and footers..btw the hfreeze code does not mesh well with firefox? Only works clean with IE. Is there a patch out there that corrects this issue? Thanks

We used to be able to do that on the Green Screens back in the Main Frame days...

Doug, you're showing your age.

The old 3270 terminals were so much easier that all this new stuff.

Hi everybody,
hi Edwin,

it seems that your solution to the Freeze problem is based on "CSS expressions" in IE. (e.g. width: expression....). Please keep in mind, that "CSS expressions" are abandoned with IE8 and higher versions and will only work in IE7 compatibility mode. All other browsers like Firefox etc. will not support CSS expressions as they are not in the CSS standard.
