Michele,

You can use the workbook's open event:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Select
End Sub

Of course, change the sheet name to whatever is appropriate. Place the code in the codemodule of
the ThisWorkbook object.

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can control what worksheet to open first when
starting excel? I have several worksheets in a workbook but every time I
close out of it and reopen it, it opens with the same worksheet. I want to
specify what worksheet to open first.
