Hi. I need some help. I have been using Excel 2003 since the beginning. All
of a sudden, I can't move around a spreadsheet. I click in a cell and then no
matter what I tried to do I can only select cells. I can't even get out of
the application without going through the task manager. What is wrong? And
how do I fix it? Sorry to interrupt this chat, but I can't figure out how to
get in. JEPedicini

You can set the allowable scrolling area using VBA code.

Since the scrollarea method does not stick between sessions you will have to
reset it each time you open the workbook.

You may wish to place the code into a WorkBook_Open Sub in ThisWorkbook module
and specify which worksheet if only one sheet required.

Adjust the sheetname and range to suit.

Private Sub WorkBook_Open()
Sheets("YourSheet").ScrollArea = "A1:T50"
End Sub

Or also in the Thisworkbook module to limit scrollarea on all sheets.

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
With ActiveSheet
.ScrollArea = "A1:T50"
End With
End Sub

I have a worksheet that has information on the first 50 rows. The rest of the
rows are hidden. I want to stop it from scrolling up out of sight. I know I
can hide the scroll bars but it will still scroll out of sight with the
scroll wheel on the mouse.
