Ive got another doosie for you guys. Ive got a pretty wide form, and i was
wondering, is there a way to lock the form header so it stays in place whilst
the body of the form is scrolled left or right? Pretty much I'd like to be
able to see the top left corner of the header when i am looking at the right
side of the body(when scrolled over so that the left side can not be seen).

Any input on this will be much appreciated. Thank you.

You could copy all the detail section's controls to the clipboard, create a
new form and paste them in. Get it looking right, then Place the form as a
subform on the original form, instead of the controls already there. Your
users can scroll the subform left & right without disturbing the header.
