Excel Macro to take user back to page 1 before saving
 

I have a Workbook with 15 pages, the first page is a menu page with several
buttons to navigate through the workbook, on each other page I have a 'home'
button linking back to take the user back to the first page.

My problem arises when the user completes their task cliks on save and then
exits out of the Workbook (this process bypasses the links) - when they
return to the Workbook they are automaticlly taken to the last page they used
not page 1.

I would like a macro that will take the user back to the home page (Page1)
then save their work before exiting.

I have seen several macros that come close but I am unable to create the
correct one can someone help please.

Excel Macro to take user back to page 1 before saving
 

Rodney,

You could have a macro select your first sheet when it's opened (as long as
macros are enabled). This will select the first physical sheet (that's
visible):

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets(1).Activate
End Sub

Or you could use:

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

Substitute the sheet name for "Menu." Note that these are sheets, not
pages.

Use the following code. Sheets(1) can be replaced with Sheets("Menu") or
whatever your menu sheet is called.

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)

Sheets(1).Activate
ThisWorkbook.Save

End Sub
