freeze columns (not headers

I have many columns out to the right. The name column is the first column in
the report. I wan to "freeze" the name column so that when you scroll to the
right in the report the name column is still visible.
From this forum i learn that freeze headers isn't available until RS 2005.
Is this the same case for Freeze columns?
Does anyone else try to do this?I'm not sure that Freeze Columns will even be available in the initial RS
2005 release. I haven't heard anything about it and it's a feature that I
would love to see.
Currently the only way to accomplish these things are to programmatically
pull reports from RS and save the resulting output file. Then your
application must open the Excel file and manipulate it directly. You'll need
to have a way for the application to know which columns/rows get frozen for
each report that you have.
It's doable, but you have to have a lot of custom code done and it does slow
down the delivery speed some.
