How do I set a worksheet to be the default at startup?
 

I have a workbook that has more than 50 worksheets. I would like the default
to open to the first worksheet when the file is opened, not the last one
accessed when last saved. Is it possible to do easily?

thanks,
dan

Put this in a general module:

Option Explict
sub auto_Open()
application.goto worksheets(1).range("a1"),scroll:=true
'or
application.goto worksheets("MyFavoriteSheet").range("a1"),scroll:= true
End sub

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
