Stop scrolling on 1 worksheet
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. |

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 Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 12 Dec 2006 17:35:01 -0800, Ollie wrote: I have a worksheet that has information on the first 50 rows.

nHello Gord
This works very well indeed. I dont understand what you mean by having to reset between sessions. I have closed the workbook and Excel and opened it all up again and it seems to be all working OK. Thaks for you help. Keep up the good work. It is very much appreciated. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Ollie You can set the allowable scrolling area using VBA code.

Stop scrolling on 1 worksheet
That is because the macros run every time the workbook is opened or a sheet
is activated, thereby resetting the scroll area each time one of those events occurs. Otherwise, the scroll area is lost when you close and reopen the workbook. You could set it manually by clicking View/Toolbars/Control Toolbox, click the properties button, but you would have to do this each time you opened the workbook whereas the macros do it for you.

Stop scrolling on 1 worksheet
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.

Stop scrolling on 1 worksheet
The F8 key toggles extended selection off and on. It also displays "EXT" in the status bar at the lower right corner of the Excel window. Press that key once and see if it cures the problem. -- Jim Cone San Francisco, USA http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primitivesoftware (Excel Add-ins / Excel Programming) "JEP" wrote in message Hi.
