I would like to have Excel 2003 on open move the focus to a cell
within a column based on the date opened so it reduces the need to
scroll down to find that date?

Hi,
Put this code in the workbook section of the VBE.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Z = 1
Y = 1
Do Until Cells(Z, Y) = Date
Z = Z + 1
Loop
Cells(Z, Y).Select
End Sub

If your dates are not in column A, change the value of Y in the 2nd line to
suit your data. (Column A=1, Column B=2, etc)
Regards - Dave.

When you save the file, make sure the focus is on the cell you want. Excel
will preserve the focus on reopen.

Regards,
Fred.

in ThisWorkbook module put the following code

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim l As Double
Range("A1:A10000").Select
l = DateSerial(Year(Now()), Month(Now()), Day(Now()))
k = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(l, Selection, 0)
Cells(k, 1).Select
End Sub
