If there are multiple sheets in a workbook, when you toggle to the last one sheet, the first sheet will be hidden in the sheet tab bar as below shown. Now you want to lock a master sheet’s position for always visible, how can you handle it?

Lock sheet position with VBA
Here I introduce two VBA codes for you to handle this job.
Jump to the sheet
1. Press Alt + F11 keys to enable the Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows.
2. Click Insert > Module, then copy and paste below code to the script.
VBA: Jump to the master sheet
Sub GoToSheet()
'UpdatebyExtendoffice20180427
Sheets("Master").Activate
End SubNote: In the code slice of Sheets("Master").Activate, you can change the Master to any sheet name as you need.
3. Then save this code, and go back to the workbook, click Developer > Macros.
4. In the Macro dialog, select the code name you inserted just now, click Options, create a shortcut for running this code.
5. Click OK and close the Macro dialog.
From right now, while you pressing the shortcut you created, the master sheet has been activated whichever sheet you use.
Keep the sheet always in the front
1. Press Alt + F11 keys to enable the Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows.
2. Double click ThisWorkbook from the Project-VBAProject pane, and copy and paste below code to the script.
VBA: Keep sheet always in the front
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
'UpdatebyExtendoffice2018027
Dim xSheet As Worksheet
Application.EnableEvents = False
Set xSheet = Sheets("master")
If Sh.Name <> xSheet.Name Then
Sh.Move , xSheet
xSheet.Activate
Sh.Activate
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
3. Save the code and close the VBA window. From now, whichever sheet you click, the master sheet always stay in the front of the tab bar.
