Split view in Excel 2003 vertical - scroll either side independently

I have a spreadsheet with a vertical split screen in the middle - I have lists on either side I wish to compare with a different number of items - I would like to scroll down either side independently leaving the other side fixed - at present when I scroll down one side the other side moves down to. I am sure I have done this is the past but carn't work out how.

Thanks.

OK thanks - yes this works for 2007 - sort of works with 2003 but 2007 has feature to turn off syncronous scrolling  which 2003 does not have.

Looking at this for a client who only has 2003 so prefer to find a solution with this.
I'm not referring to "View Side by Side"
It looks like View->New Window doesn't work for '03

Maybe you could open a second copy as Read-Only?

It works in 2003 if I am understanding you correctly.

    ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlNormal

Open in new window

You don't need the first line...
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlNormal

Having setup that solution as described by AnilKumarSha... you can save the layout ....

Go to "custom views" in the view menu ... select "new" and give the view a meaningful name like SplitView1 and select ok to save it.
When you next open the file just go to custom views and select SplitView1

Thanks for the help - this works fine and yes byundt i wouldn't have found the little icon to disable scrolling without you pointing it out.
Hi donhannam, I think that my contribution about saving the layout was useful, and worthy of consideration as an assist
