[AccessD] Freeze panes

Really?  Exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you.

Rocky

P.S.  This list isn't as useful to me as it used to be.  You all used to
save my bacon 5 times a day.  I'd say now not more than once a day. :)

Set the  display mode to  Datasheet mode.
Select the columns, shift+ right click and select "Freeze columns"
Save the Form.

If you want to make sure it is always that way:

Private Sub Form_Load()
personname.SetFocus
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdFreezeColumn
companyname.SetFocus
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdFreezeColumn
End Sub
