Ensure Excel goes to last used cell upon startup
 

I have a condition when starting Excel (2002), instead of going to the last
used cell (when I saved and shutdown Excel), the sheet goes a cell halfway up
(it's the same cell every time). As the sheet grows, this becomes a nuisance.
Does anyone have an idea how to force Excel to go to last entered cell? I
tried a suggestion sometime ago, which involved entering a line of code into
an active cell, but this has not worked. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated :) (Excel novice BTW)
Thanks in advance.

Everything else being equal, Excel should open very close to the last screen-view on that sheet
prior to final save unless an event macro is working behind the scenes or if you hit PageUp or
PageDown etc.

Look in the ThisWorkbook module for event code

I used the last used cell in column A of Sheet1. Change this as required:

Option Explicit
Sub auto_Open()
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
Application.Goto .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp), _
scroll:=True
End With
End Sub

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm

If you want to go to the cell below that (for the next entry?), use this line:

Application.Goto .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).offset(1,0), _
scroll:=True
