Default Bring focus to same cell every time opened??

When someone saves a workbook, typically the place (cell) the cursor is
on when saved is where we come back to when the file is reopened later.
Is there a way to open the workbook with the focus on the same cell,
regardless of where we were in the workbook when the file was saved?

Hi

Alt+F11 to open VB editor.
Double click 'This workbook"
Paste this in on the right

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets(1).Select
Range("a1").Select
End Sub
