    1) Hyperlinks - Select the relevant cell and press "Ctrl & K". This will open up the hyperlink window. Make sure "Place in this document" is highlighted on the left then scroll through the list to find the tab name you wish to link to from that cell. Select it and click OK. Repeat for other cells as necessary.

    2) What exactly do you mean by "always viewable"??

    Only one worksheet can be active at any given time. So, you can't keep the Front Sheet visible when you go to another worksheet.

    If you right-click on the bottom lower left corner (on the navigation arrows) you will get a pop up list of all worksheets in the workbook. From there you can navigate to any sheet easily.

    This code uses the worksheet_BeforeRightClick event to navigate to the sheet.
    Code goes in the Front Sheet code module. It also uses a Custom Function (below) to test if the worksheet exists.

    Place this code into a standard module.

    Another way to create the links is to enter this formula in D1 and copy it to the end of the list. The workbook name is ard coded so you will have to alter that to the real name.

    =HYPERLINK("[Grade(1) (1).xls]" & C40 & "!A1",C40)

    The only way I know of to keep the front sheet visible:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...001217043.aspx

    Maybe some VBA expert can come up with code to create the split view with the front page on one side and the desired sheet on the other.

    Ran perfectly for me when I tested it in your sample workbook.
    Did you attempt to alter the code? Did you put it in the correct sheet module? Did you copy and paste the function code to a standard module?
