No Cell Selected
Currently, if I open a spreadsheet, the file defaults to the last cell or
range selected prior to the last save. Is there a VBA command that deselects any cell so when a file is opened, no cell is selected until the user clicks on something? Thanks, |

No Cell Selected
Hi Brent
I don't think you can have a situation with no cell selected, but the following code would put the cursor in cell A1 of Sheet1 Private Sub Workbook_Open() ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Select Range("A1").Activate End Sub Copy above code Alt+F11 to invoke VB Editor Control+F1 to open Project Explorer Double click on ThisWorkbook Paste code into white pane Alt+F11 to return to Excel. Save the workbook. When it is opened next time cursor will be on sheet1 cell A1. Change to suit -- Regards Roger Govier "Brent E" wrote in message ...

No Cell Selected
Excel will always have a cell selected somewhere.
Which one is up to you and could be coded to open with a particular sheet and cell selected. Private Sub Workbook_Open() Sheets("Sheet1").Select Range("A1").Select End Sub Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Fri, 17 Oct 2008 14:54:04 -0700, Brent E wrote: Currently, if I open a spreadsheet, the file defaults to the last cell or range selected prior to the last save.

Thanks, If you save while a shape is selected then it reopens with the shape still selected. However ActiveCell.Address returns the address of the active cell prior to selecting the shape.

No Cell Selected
Hi,
I have to say this is not a standard request, so here is a non standard solution. 1. Place an auto shape on a sheet 2. Reduce its size as much as possible. 3. Add code such as the following to the Workbook_Open event Sheet(1).Activate ActiveSheet.Shapes("Oval 9").Select And don't anyone respond with how hokey this is, I know it is. But the basic idea is you can select anything other than a cell and you aren't selecting a cell! -- Thanks, Shane Devenshire "Brent E" wrote: Currently, if I open a spreadsheet, the file defaults to the last cell or range selected prior to the last save.
