Open a worksheet to a specific work sheet


Posted by Chris on December 26, 2001 1:10 PM

I have several sheets within my spreadsheet and
I want one of them to open up and show everytime
I open the spreadsheet. Is there some kind of macro
that I can run?

In ThisWorkbook module put this

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
End Sub

This does not seem to work.

Why not ?

You have to replace "Sheet1" with the actual name of your sheet...

That SHOULD work (And does)

I did that and it works when I run it within
the spreadsheet, but if I go to another sheet
and enter information then save the spreadsheet
while I am on another sheet then close out, then
I open the spreadsheet back up it goes to the sheet that I had open last. Is there some way to
run that code when I open up the spreadsheet?

Where did you put the code ?

It should NOT go in a standard module. It should go in module of the book (Appears as ThisBook)

Thanks that worked. Got one more question if you know. Can you have message boxes appear in excel?
