I can’t seem to get this to work.
When I open the workbook, I want to open sheet1. I have 7 sheets and I don’t always go back to sheet 1 before I save and close
When I open the work book, it goes to sheet1 but the sub “movebox” doesn’t run
If I open another sheet in the workbook, and go back to sheet1, it runs
I tried to change “Open” and “Activate”
Here is what I’m trying to use:
This is in the “Thisworkbook”
VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_open()
Sheets("sheet1").Select
End Sub
This is Sheet1
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_activate()
movebox
opening
End Sub

Thank you
It works.
This saves me from having an icon on the ribbon to go to sheet2 and save and close.

I thought about that when you showed me that it works if it's saved in a different worksheet.

Thanks again and i appreciate the help

Thanks for trying rabsofty

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
