Why does "Step Into" stop after I open my input file?

I need to debug a part of a macro - the error is long after the code below. When I do a Step Into, as soon as I point to the input file I want the whole macro runs to completion. Why is that and how can I prevent it so I can verify my code line by line?

Sub GetStuff()
Dim FileToOpen As Variant
Dim OpenBook As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename(Title:="Browse for your File & Import Range", FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.csv*),*csv*")
If FileToOpen <> False Then
Set OpenBook = Application.Workbooks.Open(FileToOpen)
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
OpenBook.Sheets(1).Range("A1:W9999").Copy
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Yourstuff").Range("A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
OpenBook.Close False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End If

Sheets("Yourstuff").Select
Last = Cells(Rows.Count, "L").End(xlUp).Row
For i = Last To 1 Step -1
If (Cells(i, "L").Value) <> Worksheets("Sheet3").Range("D13") Then
Cells(i, "A").EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next i
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
When you step into the code that opens another workbook, that opened workbook becomes the active workbook. I have learned to just accept it, select the VBE and continue stepping.

RoryA - from that link I got something so obvious I'm ashamed of myself. After the file is opened, I added End Sub followed by a line that said Sub Part2(). I just run the first part, then step into the second.
Thanks
