Default Go to cell with maximum value when worksheet opened

In which column will your dates be entered?

Will that column contain dates only or?

Thanks to both Mike & Gord for your suggestions, but that has only got me
part way there. I can now see how to write code that is implemented when a
particular worksheet is opened (Gord's answer), but unfortunately the result
using either of your code lines is taking me to the last cell that contains a
look-up formula linked to the database extraction, which is well below where
the last actual date is. i.e. I need to get to the cell with a maximum value
- have tried writing various IF statements to make the cell values zero or "
", but it seems to make no difference and always goes to the last cell in the
column containing a formula. I have tried various ways of using MAX but keep
getting syntax errors, as it's apparently not as simple as using MAX(A1:A400)
in a cell formula, or am I missing something simple here? Can anyone offer
any further help on this please?
