Default Select a worksheet

I'm using the below formula to determine the specific type of equipment from
a list named: database

=IF(VLOOKUP($J$2,Database!$A:$U,21,FALSE)=$X$2,"De sktop",IF(VLOOKUP($J$2,Database!$A:$U,21,FALSE)=$X $5,"Notebook","Error!!!!!!!"))

value of X2 = DSK and value of X5 = NBK

What I need help with is a way of using the value returned to automatically
open the relevant worksheet, ie: If "Desktop" is returned the Desktop
worksheet needs to open and if "Notebook" is returned the notebook worksheet
needs to open automatically. All worksheets are in the same workbook.

Default Select a worksheet

Assuming your vlookup formula as posted is in cell X1,
you could place this in say, Y1:
=IF(X1"Error!!!!!!!",HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address ",INDIRECT("'"&X1&"'!A1")),X1),"")
to produce a clickable hyperlink to the particular sheet returned by your
formula
Any worth? hit the YES below

Default Select a worksheet

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
On Error GoTo stoppit
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Me.Range("A1")
If .Value = "Desktop" Then
Sheets("Desktop").Select
ElseIf .Value = "Notebook" Then
Sheets("Notebook").Select
End If
End With
stoppit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code". Copy/paste the code into that
sheet module.

Edit the "A1" to suit.

Alt + q to return to Excel.

I’m setting up several comment boxes and have a macro to automatically bring up the comments. However, I’m doing this in several cells and it’s become inconvenient to click on a different cell everytime I want to go to a new cell after typing in a comment box. Is there a way to get out of the comment box without using the mouse and/or clicking on another cell so I can go to another cell?

I don't know if you can "Automatically" open the right worksheet based on the result if you are putting the result in multiple cells, how would a macro know which cell you're wanting the use as reference?

The following change to your existing formula will create a Hyperlink to cell A1 (change this if required) in either the worksheet "Desktop" or "Notebook" depending upon the result. You will need to change the "Book1" reference to the name of your workbook.

Code:
=IF(VLOOKUP($J$2,Database!A:U,21,FALSE)=$X$2,HYPERLINK("[Book1] Desktop!A1","Desktop"),IF(VLOOKUP($J$2,Database!$A:$U,21,FALSE)=$X$5,HYPERLINK("[Book1] Notebook!A1","Notebook"),"Error!!!!!!!"))
