Excel 2007 : make Sheet1 active when file is opened

JennaL,

Welcome to the Excel Forum.

You can use the Workbook_Open Event.

Open the workbook in question.


Please TEST this FIRST in a COPY of your workbook (always make a backup copy before trying new code, you never know what you might lose).

1. Copy the below code, by highlighting the macro code and pressing the keys CTRL + C
2. Open your workbook
3. Press the keys ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
4. And, paste the copied code into VBAProject, Microsoft Excel Objects, ThisWorkbook (on the right pane) by pressing the keys CTRL + V
5. Press the keys ALT + Q to exit the Editor, and return to Excel

Then save the workbook with Sheet2 as the active sheet.

Then open the workbook again, and the code will automatically activate Sheet1.

Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

I've changed the title for you this time to show you a better alternative.
