Default How can I specify which cell has focus?

Range("D2000").Select

or

Application.Goto Range("D2000"), True
will scroll D2000 to the upper left of the window (the True part)

Application.GoTo handles book/sheet activation automatically, where as the
selection does not. When using Select, you must first select the workbook
(if it's not active), then the worksheet, then the range, e.g.

Workbooks("Book2").Activate
Worksheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("D2000").Select

whereas GoTo can do it in one line of code:
Application.Goto Workbooks("Book2").Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("D20 00"),
True

Hi Gang,

I would like to programmatically advance to a specific cell. Can
someone reply with an example?

Thanks,
