Use the Workbook_Open event to run you macro.

While Tom's .Select suggestion in Workbook_Open() will highlight that cell,
it won't actually make A106 the top left cell immediately under your
headings. Use this instead:
Application.GoTo Range("A106"), True

Tom didn't suggest selecting. Tom suggested using the workbook_open event.

Literally true. Since that was the limit of the suggestion, I assumed he
expected the OP's existing related line be placed there, or existing Sub be
called from there.
