You can have a solution with no frames :
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<div id="leftPane">
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td >�alskdf�laksdf a�lsdkfj </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</td>
<td>
<div id="rightPane" style="width:300; overflow-X:auto;">
<table>
<tr>
<td nowrap="nowrap">asdffaslkdf as�ldkfas�ldkfj �alsdkf�laksdjf �alskdf�laksdf a�lsdkfj </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td nowrap="nowrap">asdffaslkdf as�ldkfas�ldkfj �alsdkf�laksdjf �alskdf�laksdf a�lsdkfj </td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</td>
<tr>
</table>
When you set the overflow-X to auto at the right div. You're saying it can have an horizontal scrollbar.
Put a table with the cols you want fix at the left pane (left div). Put another table with the cols to scroll at the right pane(right div).
According with the width of the right table and the width of rightPane, it will scroll as you wish.

Certainly it would not arrow across a row from the left column of the first table to the right column of the second table. Sridhar, Have you thought about letting the user cherry-pick the columns that they are interested in, and then generating a reduced table?

Some how I feel it is possible by using some funky CSS. I do have a site where a similar functionality is accomplished, it uses XML and XSLT.
