Default A save question:

Didn't realize that this thread preceded the "other" thread that I
mentioned in my last post.
Please disregard my last post.

Phil,

Myself and Trevor helped you out with this in another thread.
From what I can gather from this (and the other) thread, you
want a particular scenario set up when a user first opens a workbook.
The coding that Jan Karel will work fine (and it does the same
thing as the code in that other thread) but the caveat to it is
where you use it.
When used in the Before_Save event, if a user is working on a
workbook and decides to save it in the middle of what they were
doing, you're going to rearrange the sheets on them.
If you use this same code in the Workbook_Open Event (or an
Auto_Open sub), whenever the workbook is opened, it'll be set
up as you wish, but if a user saves it, it won't rearrange the sheets
on them.

It's all a matter of preference.

Just my two cents......

Jan Karel, Thanks for your answer. Could we take this a
step further...

My workbook is named Scorecard, and its worksheets are
entitled Scorecard, Customer, Finance, and Employee.

When the user clicks the Save icon, I want the cursor in
each worksheet to be placed in Cell A1, and the worksheet
named Scorecard to be the the last worksheet changed.

The object is that when a user opens the Workbook, the
worksheet named Scorecard comes up first, and as each of
the worksheets is opened, it shows the top of the
worksheet - thus the force of cursor to cell A1.

What would the code be, and just where would I put it?

Hi,

For that specific workbook, use its Before_save event in
the thisworkbook module:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As

Boolean,
Cancel As Boolean)
if msgbox("Save ?",vbYesNo)=vbNo then
Msgbox "I'm not saving myself!!"
Cancel=True
Else
msgbox "Saving!!"
end if
End Sub

Is there a way to attach a macro to the Excel save

button
and have it work exclusively for an uniquely identified
workbook, but operate normally otherwise.

Or is the answer to put a save button (control) on each
worksheet?

Thanks,
Phil
