I wrote a simple macro which changes the value of cell "A1" on the first worksheet in a workbook which contains many worksheets. Obviously, I can execute the macro from any worksheet in the workbook. However, how do I modify the macro to RETURN to the specific worksheet I was in when I executed the macro, without specifying a specific sheet? In other words, I just want the macro to bring me back to whatever sheet I was in, when I executed the macro in the first place.

when the code starts us
"set currentWorkSheet=Activeworkbook.ActiveSheet", so you can keep the reference
After you've done whatever you wanted d
currentWorkSheet.activat

Don't leave it.

That is

Worksheets(1).Range("A1").Value = "xx"

rather than

Worksheets(1).ACtivate
Range("A1").Value = "xx"

or (even worse)

Worksheets(1).ACtivate
Range("A1").Select
Selection.Value = "xx"
