If you want to restore the screen picture for the user after a macro has changed the window view, you can sometimes just activate the cell that was the active cell when the macro started. This is not always successful.
The following example code will restore the windowposition just like it was when the macro started :
Dim aRow As Long, aColumn As Integer, aRange As String ' global variables
Sub RememberWindowPosition() ' run this before making changes
With ActiveWindow
aRow = .ScrollRow
aColumn = .ScrollColumn
End With
aRange = Selection.Address
End Sub
Sub RestoreWindowPosition() ' run this to restore position in the window
Range(aRange).Select
With ActiveWindow
.ScrollRow = aRow
.ScrollColumn = aColumn
End With
End Sub
