In my Workbook_Open() subroutine, I run the following line of code:

Application.Goto Reference:=Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1"), scroll:=True

This code works okay, but whenever I mark my "Sheet1" as hidden, the
code no longer works. The error message that I get is Run-Time
Error 1004 - Method 'Goto' of Object '_Application' Failed.

Is there any way to use that line of code on a hidden sheet??

thanx

The sheet needs to be visible for that code to work.

Dim myCell as range
set mycell = worksheets("sheet1").range("A1")

mycell.parent.visible = xlsheetvisible
application.goto reference:=mycell, scroll:=true

Just unhide the sheet yourself. If the sheet is already visible, then the
..visible line won't cause trouble.
(If the workbook's structure is protected, you will get an error, though.)

So, to set the sheet as hidden again, would I use the following
line:

mycell.parent.visible = xlSheetHidden ' ???

.visible line won't cause trouble.

Sounds like it's worth testing!
