I always want Excel to start on a specific Worksheet whenever I open a
particular Workbook. How can I do that?

I don't know how to do this. What is the 'Workbook.Open' event? Also where
is the 'Object Module', and what is 'ThisWorkbook'?

With your workbook open, right-click on the Excel logo left of "File" if your
window is maximized or on the title bar Excel logo if not maximized.

Select "View Code" and Thisworkbook module will open.

Paste JMay's code into that module............make sure to substitute your real
worksheet name instead of "MyWorksheetName". The double quotes must be used.

Close that window. Save your workbook and close it.

Each time you open it, it will open to the worksheet you have named no matter
where you were when you last saved/closed.

When I load the Workbook I get a "Microsoft Excel" error that says:

"Macros are disabled because the security level is set to high and a
digitally signed Trusted Certificate is not attached to the macros. To run
the macros, change the security level to a lower setting (not recommended),
or request the macros be signed by the author using a certificate issued by
a Certificate Authority."

Sounds like setting the security level lower would be the easiest thing to
do. How do I do it?

Tools|Macro|Security|Security level tab

Change to Medium (to be prompted each time you open a workbook with macros)
change to low (to avoid the prompt, MS recommends against this)

And then close your workbook and reopen it.
