I use Microsoft Office Excel 2003. I have a spreadsheet with many tabs
It's a shared spreadsheet with many people making updates.
Regardless of who last saved it, and what sheet they updated, I woul
like the spreadsheet to open on Sheet 1. Is this possible? Right now
the spreadsheet opens on the last sheet updated.

Thank You!

(Macro Security for your installation of Excel must be set to medium o
low for the following to work:)

The following macro will cause Sheet 1 to be displayed every time you
reopen the workbook:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
End Sub

The code for this macro must be saved as follows:

Select Tools > Macros > Visual Basic Editor

On the left of the Visual Basic Editor Screen you will see a Projec
Window with a listing of objects and modules.

The last item on the list of Objects should be "ThisWorkbook"

Double-click on "ThisWorkbook"

A window will open titled xxxx.xls - ThisWorkbook (Code)

From the top left dropdown menu select Workbook
From the right top dropdown menu select Open

The subroutine title: "Private Sub Workbook_Open()" will appear, alon
with End Sub.

Add the line

Sheets("Sheet1").Activate

X - out of VB editor, save your workbook and close it with any shee
selected. When you re-open the file, it should flip to Sheet1
