I know that you can have a form automatically pop-up upon opening a database, but is it possible to have Access goto and open a specific table upon opening a database.

If not directly, how about running a macro that opens the table?

I guess I need something that is similar to Auto_Open from Excel.

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Not sure why you'd want to do this (surely a form set to datasheet view would be better?), but if you create a macro to open your table and save it as AutoExec, then that will fire as the database is opened. Note that a user pressing the Shift key can bypass this.
