Hi everybody,
Very hot weather here in UK although having just put the washing out to dry,
the weather turns to rain!

Anyway, I have a workbook with several 'sheets', is it possible to force
Excel to start in a particular sheet that I have names Instructions?

I checked Google but got nowheere.

Thanks,
Mickey
 
Hi Mickey

Sure. Paste in the ThisWorkbook module:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets(1).Activate
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 1
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 1
Range("C3").Select
End Sub

Sorry to hear about the laundry ;-)
 
Hi Mickey,

In your workbook, open the VB Editor and go to: 'This Workbook', put in this
code:

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

Obviously change "Sheet1" to the sheet that you wish to activate on opening.

Hi Mickey

Glad it helped. Just email me the clothes, Oslo is like an oven today. I really should log
off and get outside.
