Starting Excel on a certain page

[jyantiss]

Is there a way to have an excel workbook open to a certain tab or sheet every time it is opened?

Currently, its opening to the page that was up when last saved.

Hello,

In the THIS WORKBOOK Visual Basic window, enter this code

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Sheet3").Activate
End Sub

Change Sheet3 to the sheet tab you require.

Yes, you can put some VBA code in the Workbook_Open event to do this. If you go into the VB editor, place the following code under the ThisWorkbook module:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

    Sheets("Sheet1").Select

End Sub

Change the name of "Sheet1" to whatever the name is of the sheet you want to open to.

Thanks for your help on this,

how do I get to the 'THIS WORKBOOK Visual Basic window'

or

to the 'Workbook_Open event' ?

Hello,

Select TOOLS-->MACRO-->VISUAL BASI EDITOR

In this VB window select VIEW-->PROJECT EXPLORER

A window will appear (or is already open) and should have your spreadsheet name in their, as well as all the sheets, after the last sheet there is a THIS WORKBOOK, Right Clisk the Mouse when over this and select VIEW CODE

Past the code in the large window, above should be two drop down boxes saying (General) and (Declarations)

Is this expalined well enough?
