I did this once, but I cheated.  I have two sets of text boxes with the
'frozen' data, one set at the left end of the screen and one just out of
sight past the right edge of the screen.  I don't give the user a horizontal
scrollbar.  When the user tabs or arrows off the right hand end of the
'first' screen, I force the focus to a tiny field at the right hand end of
the current row.  This automatically makes the second set of 'frozen' text
boxes jump to the left hand side of the screen, with the text boxes for the
'second' screen showing.  The reverse happens when the user Shift-Tabs or
left arrows to the left of the first 'unfrozen' text box in the second
screen.  I also let them use the Home and End keys to switch back and forth
between the two views.
