I am opening excel files from access using application.followhyperlink.
The excel file always opens with the workbook restored down.
Is there any way to open the file with the workbook maximized using
application.followhyperlink from access?
One annoying thing is that after using application.followhyperlink from
access, after I have closed both access and excel, the next time I open excel
from the desktop, it opens with the workbook restored down.

Thanks
