Select worksheet from data in Cell A1 not from Sheet Name
Is it possible to select a worksheet from text that is in Cell A1?
Reason: Sheet names are often different but Cell A1 will always be consistant, So, if the text I am looking for is Document it could be on any of the worksheets I need to select A1 on the Worksheet with Document in A1 when my Macro opens the Workbook,
Possible???????
Thanks

Hi Rgonzo1971
thanks for getting back so quickly. Unfortunately it does not seem to work.
I open the workbook which open on Sheet1, the macro then runs and ends but stays on sheet1 whereas it should end up on Sheet 4

Hi,
Sorry let's try
Sorry let's try
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
For Each sh In Me.Worksheets
If sh.Range("A1") = "Document" Then
sh.Activate
Range("A1").Activate
End If
Next
End Sub

Unfortunately that is not working either. I have also gone to the sheet that I want to start at and placed the curser in a random cell expecting the macro to go to A1.... but nope. Bizzare

I presume your file works because the macro is in that file whereas my macro is in a different workbook.
In my workbook I need to open a file that was saved down by someone else [which is a new file every day] and when my workbook opens the file that is when I need it to find the Sheet with the text Document,
I guess this is more complicated as I am not sure I can call a private sub from within my Macro. Or can I?

just a thought, when I open the file my macro is not then going to your code. What makes my Macro call your code?
My code initilize application events when you open it then every time you open a workbook the
App_WorkbookOpen code will be fired
Regards
App_WorkbookOpen code will be fired

I cannot get this to do what I want it to do, but, it is a macro I will be able to use under different curcumstances so I am going to accept
