Opening a tab automatically in a file
 

Hello Excel(lent) users,

I have made a file with a number of tabs. One of those tabs is called Menu.
In that tab I have made links to different other tabs. Now I want the file to
open always with that tab, regardless of how it has been saved the previous
time. Is there an easy way to do this??

Thanks kindly!!

You can implement a workbook_open() macro like so

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Menu").Activate
End Sub

To paste this in, right click on the Excel Icon for the workbook (NOT the
application one) and select view code... Paste it here, save and close
workbook, now every time it open it will go to the Menu worksheet

Hello Nick,

Thanx for the reply, but I don't understand what you mean with the Excel
Icon for the workbook, where can I find it (as you said it is not the icon in
the explorer)??

Thanx

Hi Jay,

Try:

'=============
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Me.Sheets("Menu").Select
End Sub
'<<=============

This is workbook event code and should be pasted into the workbook's
ThisWorkbook module *not* a standard module or a sheet module:

Right-click the Excel icon on the worksheet
(or the icon to the left of the File menu if your workbook is maximised)
Select 'View Code' from the menu and paste the code.
Alt-F11 to return to Excel.
