Hi folks,
I want to set up a worksheet, so that only part of it can be seen / viewed .
Some scrolling will be necessary to see all the relavent parts, but the rest
I would like to stop viewing. (e.g. like a scroll lock limited to a specified
range of collumns / rows).
Any ideas guys?

You can hide unused rows and columns.

Or you can set the scrollarea to a range using VBA.

Since the scrollarea method does not stick between sessions you will have to
reset it each time you open the workbook.

You may wish to place the code into a WorkBook_Open Sub in ThisWorkbook
module and specify which worksheet if only one sheet required.

Adjust the sheetname and range to suit.

Private Sub WorkBook_Open()
Sheets("YourSheet").ScrollArea = "A1:M36"
End Sub

Or also in the Thisworkbook module to limit scrollarea on all sheets.

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
With ActiveSheet
.ScrollArea = "A1:M36"
End With
End Sub
