Is there Existing code for such?

My Wb has 100 sheets in it. Named R001 to R100. They are in consequtive order. When I activate (thru code) say the sheet named R075 - How can I (thru code) have this sheet (R075) in the First position of the Sheet tab names across the bottom of the screen? I've been looking on the net for this now for an hour without success. Does anyone have anything close to this?

Try this macro

Sub ActSht()
  Sh = InputBox("Enter Sheet name")
  (Sh).Move Before:=Sheets(1)
End Sub

 

[VoG]

Try this in the ThisWorkbook module

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Me.Move before:=Sheets(1)
End Sub

You could try using the Workbook SheetActivate event.

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
    Sh.Move Before:=Worksheets(1)
End Sub

Mind you I don't quite know exactly how, or even if, that will affect the order of the other sheets.

Thanks Guys;
In all cases (3) after returning to my Master Sheet (ws #1) the R075 is now next to my Master Sheet in Position 2, instead of R001 being in position 2. PLUS somehow the 3rd position is R100, the 4th R099 (descending order)????

You didn't mention a master sheet or what you want to happen when you activate any other sheet.

It's probably possible to 'return' it to it's original position but that might not be straightforward.

Excel has no built-in functionality for ordering worksheets by name, if you wanted to do that you would need other code.

Why do you want to move the worksheet anyway?

Couldn't you just hide all other non-relevant worksheets?

Then unihide once you've done what you want to do.

I'm interpreting the question a bit differently...rather than moving the worksheet, that you just want to scroll the tabs so that the desired sheet is the first on the left, and is active.
If so, try the following, substituting your desired sheet name accordingly:

Sub temp()
'
' temp Macro
'

'
ActiveWindow.ScrollWorkbookTabs Position:=xlLast
Sheets("R075").Select
End Sub

Hope this helps,
Cindy

Cindy,

You are EXACTLY right; Thanks for "interpreting" what I was unable to cleary say;
Your Code now incorporated into my other code - it doing exactly what I wanted.

Tks,

Jim
