Not through a startup switch.

But you could have a macro that selects the desired worksheet when you open the
workbook.

option explicit
sub auto_open()
worksheets("my startup sheet").select
end sub

(don't forget to change the worksheet name to what you want.)

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

switch that not only starts a specific workbook: but, also starts it up at a
specific tab within the workbook ?
