Hi all

Apologies if this is elsewhere - had a look through but couldn't fin
an answer but I am a newbie so please bear with me!:)

I am attempting to automatically run a Macro in Excel when i open
worksheet but can't find a way to do this. I know I can have one set t
run when the whole workbook opens, but I need to have a different macr
running when different worksheets open and each time that an individua
worksheet is opened without closing down the whole workbook - basicall
to return to cell A1 on open (but it may not always be A it needs to g
to if that sheet is using a VLOOKUP and has numbers in the column)

Thanks for any help / advice you can offe

Right click the tab of the worksheet you want the macro to auto-run on
open. Choose "View Code"

VBA will open. At the top you should see "(General)" and
"(Declarations)" Click on "(General)" and choose "Worksheet".

"(Declarations)" will change to "SelectionChange". Click on
"SelectionChange" and choose "Activate".

You can then delete the following text:
"Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
End Sub"

Any code you put between: "Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()" and "End
Sub" will run when this particular worksheet is Activated.

Hope that helps.
