    Column A, not "Row" A.

    Here is some code that I obtained from ozgrid.com several years ago and which you can place into the "Worksheet" code area for any worksheet in a workbook.

    The only other thing that is needed here is to name the allowable range that you will allow the cursor to move in.

    ==============================================
    ' From http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/MiscVBA.htm
    ' 19-May-03 -- Using a Named Range to modify
    ' and control the allowable scroll area

    Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
    Me.ScrollArea = "PERSONAL.xls!myrange"

    'To set back to normal use:
    'Me.ScrollArea = ""
    ' OR Scroll_At_Will

    Application.SendKeys "^{Home}"

    End Sub

    Sub Scroll_At_Will()
    Me.ScrollArea = ""
    End Sub

    ==============================================
    This code is in my Personal.XLS workbook file simply as sample code, which is why the reference to a named range (MyRange) in that workbook. You can place the code into any workbook you want, and just change the workbook and range name references to suit your application.

    The code is activated at the "Worksheet_Activate" area, which means that every time this worksheet is activated, the cursor movement range is restricted to "MyRange". If I want to change that, then I just have to run the macro "Scroll_at_will()" and the restriction is lifted.
