    Prevent Worksheet Scrolling

    Is there a way to 'prevent' a worksheet from scrolling?

    I have created a worksheet, but it will appear differently on users pc's based on their screen resolution. I would like to be able to only show the horizontal scrollbar if it is actually required because the user's screen resolution isn't high enough to show the whole screen.

    I can turn the scrollbars off in the advanced settings, but this doesn't prevent the sheet from scrolling, is ther any way to achieve this if a specified number of columns can be viewed without the need to scroll and to then show the horizintal scrollbar if not?

    What about hiding all the columns past the data and then hide the horizontal scroll bar?

    I tried that one already, but it doesn't prevent the worksheet from scrolling with the mouse, again, not a big deal, but would just be a nice touch...

    How about this,
    My screen is huge ,so you will have to set the scroll area yourself.

    Put this in a workbook open and apply to all sheets, or just to the ones you need?

    The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day...
