Dave, you could put some code in the workbook open event like this

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("budget").Select
End Sub

To put in this macro, from your workbook right-click the workbook's icon and
pick View Code. This icon is to the left of the "File" menu this will open
the VBA editor, in the left hand window double click on thisworkbook, under
your workbook name, and paste the code in the window that opens on the right
hand side, press Alt and Q to close this window and go back to your
workbook, now this will run every time you open the workbook. If you are
using excel 2000 or newer you may have to change the macro security
settings to get the macro to run. To change the security settings go to
tools, macro, security, security level and set it to medium

Is there a way to have a workbook open to a certain worksheet regardless
of
which worksheet was active when the file was saved and clsoed?

Example:
Worksheets in workbook - data, budget, analysis, comments

Saved and closed with data worksheet active

On open have budget worksheet active

Thanks
