Default Formatting an excel worksheet to create a form

Set the scrollarea to a range using VBA.

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:F44"
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:F44"
End With
End Sub

Thanks Gord. How do I do that?

You cannot remove excess rows and columns.

You can hide them from view.

You could also set the scrollarea limited to A1:F44 through VBA.

Hello,
How do I remove unwanted rows and columns from a worksheet? I'm trying to
create a form and I only want columns A through F and rows 1 through 44 to
show.
