In Excel VBA Macro does ActiveWindow.Scroll change ActiveCell at all

That is correct. These are typically just a side effect of recording a macro. You should be able to remove them without affecting your macro.

    I'm cleaning up and extending some excel VBA macros (written and currently running in Excel 2003), and I have a question about how far I can go in cleaning up without modifying the output.

    There are sevral ActiveWindow.Scroll or similar entries in the macro. So far as I understand these only move the spreadsheet within the viewable window. Is this correct?

    Just to expand and confirm: Removing Scroll entries should in no way affect the selected cell, row, or column the macro will be working upon.

    Thank you for the confirmation. In my experience I've not found a case where they've done anything meaningful, but it's good to have additional confirmation they indeed do not affect data processing portions of the macro.
