How do I keep a column's position fixed?

[PamelaRenee]

I have a spreadsheet with a column down the left of various entities to be
paid each month. Then I have columns off to the right for each month's
payment date, payment amount, and check number of payment. I would like to
keep that left-most column always visible, even as I scroll off the sheet to
the right to add in new months' data. This seems like it should be easy, and
I've seen spreadsheets where this is done, but I can't seem to figure out how
to do it. Can anyone help? Thanks!

If you're talking about spreadsheets, you should be asking in a newsgroup
that's related to Excel (they start microsoft.public.excel)

This newsgroup is for questions about Access, the database product that's
part of Office Professional. Access is definitely not a spreadsheet!

If you're looking at an Access table, select the column you want to freeze,
then on the menu click format - freeze columns.
