Open workbook to specific worksheet
 

Is there a way to have a workbook open to a certain worksheet regardless of
which worksheet was active when the file was saved and clsoed?

Example:
Worksheets in workbook - data, budget, analysis, comments

Saved and closed with data worksheet active

On open have budget worksheet active

Thanks

Dave, you could put some code in the workbook open event like this

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("budget").Select
End Sub

To put in this macro, from your workbook right-click the workbook's icon and
pick View Code. This icon is to the left of the "File" menu this will open
the VBA editor, in the left hand window double click on thisworkbook, under
your workbook name, and paste the code in the window that opens on the right
hand side, press Alt and Q to close this window and go back to your
workbook, now this will run every time you open the workbook. If you are
using excel 2000 or newer you may have to change the macro security
settings to get the macro to run. To change the security settings go to
tools, macro, security, security level and set it to medium

To open at a specific sheet you would need to save the workbook at that sheet
or activate that sheet upon opening the workbook.

Private Sub Workbook_Open
Sheets("MySheet").Activate
'if want a specific cell add
Range("G23").Select
End Sub

OR select when you save the workbook.

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Sheets("MySheet").Activate
'if want a specific cell add
Range("G23").Select
End Sub

Copy/paste either of the above to the ThisWorkbook module.

With workbook open hit ALT + F11 to get to Visual Basic Editor. CRTL + r to
open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and expand the MS Excel Objects.

Double-click on ThisWorkbook to open.

Paste the code in there.

ALT + Q to go back to Excel window.

Make sure the workbook Security is set to "Medium" under
ToolsOptionsSecurityMacro Security.

Save.
