I have a master file and a Data Folder that contains workbooks with the same format.
I also have a VBA code inside the master file that is able to copy the first sheet of all the selected workbook

VBA Code:
Sub Merge_Files_First_Sheet_Only()
    'Merges all files in a folder to a main file.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual

    'Define variables:
    Dim numberOfFilesChosen, I As Integer
    Dim tempFileDialog As FileDialog
    Dim mainWorkbook, sourceWorkbook As Workbook
    Dim tempWorkSheet As Worksheet
    
    Set mainWorkbook = Application.ActiveWorkbook
    Set tempFileDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
    
    'Allow the user to select multiple workbooks
    tempFileDialog.AllowMultiSelect = True
    
    numberOfFilesChosen = tempFileDialog.Show
    
      'Loop through all selected workbooks
    For I = 1 To tempFileDialog.SelectedItems.Count
        
        'Open each workbook
        Workbooks.Open tempFileDialog.SelectedItems(I)
        
        Set sourceWorkbook = ActiveWorkbook
        
        'Copy only the first sheet of a workbook
        sourceWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Copy After:=mainWorkbook.Sheets(mainWorkbook.Worksheets.Count)
        
        'Close the source workbook
        sourceWorkbook.Close
    Next I

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

End Sub

The code above needs to be executed manually when I open the file (need to press F8 then run the code)
Is there any way to make the code directly run (automatically without pressing F8) whenever I open the master file that contains the macro and copy the first sheet only from Data Folder? It seems that I need to add the folder address and make the code run automatically
Please help

Thank you in advance
