I must offer a word of caution before you delve headlong in to the "locked column" css concept. I have actually been working with these recently. Yes, the locking column feature is very cool but are not cross-brwser capable.
I have a potentially very wide report (actully I have concatenated multiple accross reports side by side because of the sort limit (40) in focus but that is neither here nor there) that the users wanted the first column (the titles) to lock. The technique described by Merkey ...
... does not work in Firefox. Its an IE 5+ only solution.
In my particular case, my users could potentally be using firefox so...
To create the scroll effect of frozen column titles I implemented the report in frames with column titles in a left frame and the report body in a scrollable right frame. The frame solution is a bit more clunky, code-wise, and I've been on client sites where frames were a "no-no" but here the client is ok with frames and this technique provided a cross-browser capable solution.
I'm just trying to save you some grief before you go too far with css trickery. Find out what browsers your users will have and whether those browsers support your particular css features you want to use before you invest too much effort.
