Horizontal Scroll On Form

I have a form which consists of a DataGrid of product codes on the left and an area on the right where I want to show supply & demand info going out 52 weeks from left to right.

The max width of the form allows me to show about 8 weeks of data using text boxes & labels. I added a panel control thinking this would give me horizontal scrolling but the max width of the panel control seems to be limited to the max width of the form.

How can I fit all this data on a single form?

Thanks
 
maybe you can try a frame, picturebox, ... in stead of the panel.

these controls are containers to (so they can contain other controls) but I don 't know if the can get bigger than the form.
 
I'm now presenting the results in another datagrid which has the scrolling capability built in. It was a hassle organizing the data so I could do this.

Don't know how the rest of you find it, but I think the datagrid control is very poor.
