Start Macro when a speecific sheet is active

[CliffMc]

HI,

I have been trying to use a "Private Sub" to start a Macro when I select a specific worksheet with in the workbook. But I am having trouble with the syntax. Not sure if I should be using WorkSheet_SelectionChange or WorkBook_sheetchange.

Here are a couple of variations that i have tried but no luck

Private Sub Worksheet_selectionChange(ByVal target As Excel.Sheet)
If target.Address = "Reconciliation" Then Call Recon
End Sub

And

Private Sub Workbook_Changesheet(ByVal target As Excel.Sheet)
If target.Address = "Reconciliation" Then Call Recon
End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Cliff

Try:

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate
If Your Condition Then
End If

Hope that helps,

Right click the tab for sheet Reconciliation and choose View Code. In the left hand dropdown choose Worksheet. You will get this:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

End Sub

which is the procedure stub for the default event and which you can delete. In the right hand dropdown choose Activate. You will get this:

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()

End Sub

to which you should add:

Call Recon
