Hi all,
I was wondering if it was possible to make my workbook change form any current sheet to Sheet1 if it is left untouched for more then 5 minutes.

I've looked around for solutions, but couldn't find anything to suit my needs.

Thanks in advance,
Chuckarou
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
.
Paste in ThisWorkbook Module :

Code:
Option Explicit


Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    StartTimer
End Sub


Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
    StartTimer
End Sub


Paste in a Routine Module :

Code:
Option Explicit


Const idleTime = 30 'seconds
Dim Start
Sub StartTimer()
    Start = Timer
    Do While Timer < Start + idleTime
        DoEvents
    Loop
    
    Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
    Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Select
   
End Sub

Timer presently set for 30 seconds. You can edit the seconds from 30 to 300
