forcing the opening cell to open at top?

[krisrice]

Ok...I have used the following code to open a new workbook and go to a spacific cell..it works fine to get to it..but is it possible to make it open with that cell at the top? I have a frozen column headings so not sure how to go about it..

Sub Macro2002047()
ChDir "N:\Storage list"
Workbooks.Open Filename:="N:\Storage list\Water and Sewer details.xls"
Range("A106").Select
Windows("Water and Sewer details.xls").Activate
End Sub

I'm new to the macro world so please help...Ohh..it is Excel 2003 on Windows XP if you need that...

Use the Workbook_Open event to run you macro.

See Chip Pearson's page on Events for a overview:

While Tom's .Select suggestion in Workbook_Open() will highlight that cell,
it won't actually make A106 the top left cell immediately under your
headings. Use this instead:
Application.GoTo Range("A106"), True

Tom didn't suggest selecting. Tom suggested using the workbook_open event.

Literally true. Since that was the limit of the suggestion, I assumed he
expected the OP's existing related line be placed there, or existing Sub be
called from there.
