David:

Thanks for your reply. I did not express my question very well.. I am
wanting to open a workbook automatically when Microsoft Excel 2003 starts.
I have a file called DatsSorting.xls in Book 1 and want it to open
automatically. I am a new user with Excel. Thanks again.

On the "File" menu, select "Open", browse to the chosen file, hit the
"Open" button.
