    scroll down to specific cell & keep format same

    Hope someone can help me with the following:

    I'm trying to make a macro that once pressed will go to a specific cell (lets just say A10) but at the same time will also scroll down to A10 and not just highlight it.

    Current setup:
    - I have frozen the top two rows so they are always visible

    - have content in in rows A4 to A10 going across to column G

    - more content in rows A30 to A37 going across to column G - so its not visible on screen as it my screen only shows about 27 rows

    - the data in A4 starts one cell below the two frozen rows (A1 and A2) - so A3 is empty

    - have recorded a macro that onced pressed will scroll down to A30 but at the same time will keep the look the same (the data is still one cell below the two frozen rows - so the screen shows A1 & A2, A29 - empty cell, A30 - data starts.

    - another macro that then goes back up to A4 but again keeps the look the same, so in essence it is working...

    UNTIL I manually scroll down or up, and then when I press the macro to go down to A30 it just highlights it wherever it is and doesn't keep the look the same - so onscreen it might now be showing A1 & A2 - frozen, then A24 to A29 empty, and then A30 - data. So the data is further away from the top of the page and more in the middle.

    Can anyone help? I'm using excel 2007.

    Re: show specific cell

    Why do you want to scroll anywhere,it is usually not necessary to select cells in VBA. Post your code and maybe a dummy workbook
    Hope that helps.

    re: scroll down to specific cell & keep format same

    Sorry about the title - is that better?

    Yeah I want to scroll down because all the data is relevant to a specific person but is filed under different headings and it gets a little overbearing when its all on screen at once, so want less clutter and give it a kind of database look and feel.

    I had edited the title,it isn't better. Your title should not include unnecessary words like macro

    Edited again
    Hope that helps.

    Re: scroll down to specific cell & keep format same

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

    Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!

    It doesn't sound like your workbook is set up as a database
    Hope that helps.

    Made a quick dummy worksheet, hope that shows what I'm trying to sort of do.

    - Forgot to add that, I don't want to spread the data over different worksheets as there will already be quite a a lot of them
