Freeze/UnFreeze Columns in Subform
acCmdFreezeColumn, acCmdUnfreezeAllColumns
This routine freezes the active column on a SubForm in Datasheet View or unfreezes that column. The button to change the view must also be on the Main Form not the SubForm.
This example uses a button called cmdFreeze and a subform control on the Main Form called subTestForm. It changes the caption of the button to reflect the change that will occur when clicked.
