You probably just need to add an activate statement at the end of the macro
like

Sheets("sheet1").activate

I have an excel file that opens with a shortcut on my desktop toolbar that
opens the file. It has an Auto_Open macro in it. When the file opens it
opens ok but the window is not active. (ie I have to click on the sheet to
activate it.) Why is this?

Thank you,

Steven
