Sarahnice,
yep, there sure is, put your macro into the workbook_open private sub (this way it'll run as soon as the workbook opens), then put into your batch file the command to start excel and the workbook, I dont know what kind of batch file you're talking about (more info next time would help a lot)but the kind of command you need is as simple as:
c:\program files\microsoft office\office\excel.exe c:\mypath\myworkbook.xls
this should start excel and the workbook, if you're talking a unix batch then you'll need a different command and I haven't done that stuff in a while so cant help you sorry...
hope this helps
Kaah.
