Cant run macro on desired sheet

New to the board and macros. I have a macro I am running from my personal workbook.
It runs on whatever workbook / worksheet I focus on. But during the process it creates temporary worksheets and it is doing so in the personal workbook. If the sheet is closed the temps stay in the
personal workbook until I close it. I would like for the temp worksheets to be created in the focused workbook and not the personal work book so when I close it they go away.

what code do I need to add?
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
activate the desired workbook in the vba first, and then add the sheet, as shown below

Code:
    Workbooks("Book2.xlsx").Activate
    Sheets.Add After:=ActiveSheet

It might help if we saw the code. If the personal workbook is hidden then you shouldn't need to activate the "desired workbook" as it should be the activeworkbook already but can't really tell as we haven't seen your code.

The code is not complete. And the personal workbookis hidden. So how can I force it to stay fpocused on the aactive workbook.
