What can I do to have the last cell touched on the sheet saved using code?
The code below does not retain B37 as the last cell even though this code is
right at the end before saving the workbook. Instead the last cell touched is
retained as the last one the user clicked on ... which is very annoying and
messy looking. Thanks.

excel.Range rg37 = null;
rg37.get_Range("B37", "B37");
rg37.Font.ColorIndex =
clsStatic.ColorCodes.white;
rg37.Value2 = dtRunDate.ToShortDateString();
rg37.Select();

What programming language are you using?
What version of Excel are you using?
Where is the code located?

It's Visual C# and excel object library 11. Code is located in Utah.
It fails on the Select() but gives no useful info. I've also tried Activate().
Just give me VBA code and I'll convert it over to what I use.

Why not give us the VBA code that fails, if necessary with any other steps
required to replicate.

Here is the corrected code. I had to Activate the sheet first, before I could
do the Select. That's all that was wrong with it.

excel.Range rg37 = w.get_Range("B37", "B37");
rg37.Font.ColorIndex = clsStatic.ColorCodes.white;
rg37.Value2 = dtRunDate.ToShortDateString();
w.Activate();
rg37.Select(); // 'Can't select unless the sheet
is active

You might want to activate the workbook too, just in case.
