Is there a way that when you open a file it will automatically go to the
first tab?

Deena,

If you're familiar with VBA and Macros, one of the easiest ways is to put
the following line into the 'Open' event of your workbook:

Sheets("Sheet1").Select

You will need to change 'Sheet1' to the name of the worksheet you want to
select, but this means that it doesn't necessarily have to be the first
sheet, it can be anywhere in the sequence you like.

If you're not familiar with VBA, there are plenty of beginners tutorials
around that will give you enough of a start to get you going.

I changed the information as described below; but, it still will not open to
the tab that I specified. Any suggestions?
