Default How do I Automatically open a sheet so it shows a specific tab or.

mayala33, you could use a macro like this,

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'change to the sheet and cell you want
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Range("G500").Select
End Sub

To put in this macro, from your workbook right-click the workbook's icon and
pick View Code. This icon is to the left of the "File" menu this will open
the VBA editor, in Project Explorer double click on thisworkbook, under your
workbook name, if you don't see it press CTRL + r to open the Project
Explorer, then, paste the code in the window that opens on the right hand
side, press Alt and Q to close this window and go back to your workbook, now
this will run every time you open the workbook. If you are using excel 2000
or newer you may have to change the macro security settings to get the macro
to run. To change the security settings go to tools, macro, security,
security level and set it to medium


And if you are new to macros you may also what to have a look here on

Can anyone tell me how to save an excel file so that it always opens to a
specific tab and cell regardless of where the cursor was the last time the
file was saved?
