excel vba freeze pane without select

Question

I have a VBA script in Excel that freezes the panes of an Excel worksheet, but I\'m curious to see if this is possible without first selecting a range. Here\'s by code now

Answer 1

I found the previous answers only worked with some sheets when looping through tabs. I found the following code worked on every tab I looped through (target was a single workbook), despite which workbook was the activeworkbook.

The short of it:

With Application.Windows(DataWKB.Name) 
    Application.Goto ws.Cells(4, 5)
    .SplitColumn = 4
    .SplitRow = 3
    .FreezePanes = True
End With

The code as it is in my Sub: (be aware, I do a lot more formatting in this sub, I tried to strip that out and leave just the code needed here)

Sub Format_Final_Report()
Dim DataWKB As Workbook
Set DataWKB = Workbooks("Report.xlsx")
Dim ws As Worksheet

Dim tabCNT As Long
Dim tabName As String
tabCNT = DataWKB.Sheets.Count

For i = 1 To tabCNT
    Set ws = DataWKB.Worksheets(i)
    tabName = ws.Name


    With Application.Windows(DataWKB.Name)
        Application.Goto ws.Cells(4, 5)
        .SplitColumn = 4
        .SplitRow = 3
        .FreezePanes = True
    End With

Next i

End Sub

Hopefully, this will save someone some research time in the future.
