    I am needing to limit a user’s movment on a sheet to a specific range. I used to have the code for this but can’t find it…
    I only want them to access range b5:e10 and not be able to move outside of that range.

      Hi Bill,

      I think you are looking for something like

      Activesheet.ScrollArea=”a1:n40″

      This prevents the user from selecting a cell outside of this area.

        just a quick note here: ScrollArea needs to be reset each time you open the workbook.

        This is Exactly what I was needing. Thank you! I’ve set the macro to open when the workbook opens.

      As an alternative to setting a scrollarea you could hide column A and F:IV and rows 1:5 and 11:65536
