Can you please check the Properties of Excel & change the normal window option to Maximized (refer to attached picture in comment# 2)

Hi MarvinP,

Check the properties of Excel & select Shortcut tab. Select Maximized option.

tried that and it opens Excel in the state I last exited Excel. When I do not exit Excel with the window maximized, it doesn't maximize the window when I start Excel.

One of these two VBA lines might get what you want.

Application.DisplayFullScreen = True
Application.WindowState =xlMaximized

You would need to put these lines on an Event macro for when Excel or a workbook is opened.

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/Events.aspx Explains lots about VBA and Events.

I did read that somewhere but couldn't figure out how to or where I should add those lines of code. I'm not sure if I will have to add that code to every Excel file I create or if it effects any Excel file that is created or will be created.
