Is there a feature that would allow, for example, the leftmost view column to remain in place while the rest of the view is scrolled horizontally? I have considered using action buttons to switch between different views to simulate scrolling horizontally. But I do not see a way to keep from losing the user’s place vertically when switching views. My last resort is to squeeze all the columns narrow enough to fit on the screen and let the user resize them as needed.

you could do it with some DHTML magic in the web browser.

That would be an incredible amount of work, since you’d pretty much need to write the view using JavaScript. HTML does not allow for parallel writing to two separate tables. You’d not only have to separately write data to the stationary column (div) and the scrolling columns, you’d also be responsible for synching the heights of the rows in each column set, allowing for word wrap and so forth. That’s not nearly as easy as it sounds.
