Correct, when i save it for the first time it gets saved to .xls. I have to
remember to save the file type as .xlsx everytime when i create a new excel
file.

No. For some reason, my excel 2007 default is .xls. I know i can do save as
or convert to .xlsx but it is annoying that everytime when i open up a new
session, i can only see 65,000 rows and in compatible mode.

How are you saving?
If you open an XLS file then it will be saved in the same format unless you
choose SAVE AS

I tried to change the file save format under Excel Options to .xlsx but it
only works on the current session. Once I close out and reopen, it switched
back to .xls.
