Default Activating "Todays Date" column upon opening?

Ok I have a workbook that tracks Vacation Dates, Attendence, and Schedules
for all employees in a department.
Row 8 Starting from column B (B8) and beyond (B9, B10, B11, B12...) contains
the date. This runs all the way to the end of the year (12/31/05)

Now what I would like to do is either A:
Make it automatically (search & activate) the column for "today's" date when
I select the worksheet

Or B:
Make a button that will do the same.

Here is a rough guestimate of what the sheet looks like



A B C D E F


8/01 8/02 8/02 8/04 8/04...........
Absent
Days
Days

Absent
Nights
Nights

Absent
Overnights
Overnights

Now on each row in the date columns, I have "Data, Validation, List,
day_shift" or "night_shift" etc so if an employee calls in sick on 8/02 I go
to a "Dayshift" slot, then scroll across to the current date, then select
that agents name from the list.

This is on a worksheet called "Attendence"

Ideally when I click on attendence, the column for today's days, will be the
visible or active column instead of having to scroll across.

Alternatively a button would work that I just press and it scrolls across to
todays date column

I know I can use "=DATE()" to determine the current date anytime the book is
opened, know how do I process that variable into selecting the appropriate
column?
