New I've always avoided Active-X
You could use a bit of DHTML. Make a scroll pane (<div style='overflow:auto'>) to hold the data and have the column headers written just above it. Of course, getting the registration right between the divisions can be a real pain.

New Just for thoroughness...
...And because I'm playing around with html validation at the moment, here's an example of using an overflow for the problem. The hardest part is that you need to set the widths in either absolute or relative distance units (%).

Note to Scott: I don't know if it's by design or a bug, but zIWETHEY won't accept DIV or SPAN tags - it treats them as literals. Might be just as well since the two really aren't supposed to be used within a table.

New OT: div and span.
It doesn't know what they are. It also doesn't understand style= parameters. And BTW, the HTML checking is a Zope thing.

New The html checking is zIWETHEY
Scott said that he just dropped in the code from old discussions. He should be able to easily add new tags and attributes to what is accepted.

Cheers,
Ben

New It shouldn't be a problem
He might need to edit code then restart the server to do it, but the change should be fairly easy.

In [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=1069|this description] he said that it was the functional code he used. However the design of that code reduces all of your tags and valid attributes to a small configuration section, edit that and away you go. In fact the way that code was designed it would be possible for different users to say they wanted different parsing shortcuts available or not, and it would work. Just throw the appropriate group of things into that configuration before you start parsing the post.

So he definitely is able to add a few more tags. Now whether he has time to do so is another story entirely...

Cheers,
Ben

New Take 2
The following should work under IE4.x and later. May have problem on other browsers because (a). TABLE elements being nested within SPAN elements are not officially supported by the standards; (b). I don't think the ONSCROLL event is standard.

For the most part, I just made everything 75 units wide, with a height of 150. Unfortunately, the scrollbar itself occupies space, so I had to compensate by 15 pixels in some places to get it to register correctly.
