How to maximize workbooks (out of IE)
 

Hello all,

when I open an Excel-File (Hyperlink) from Internet-Explorer the
workbook's embedded in IE . No problems

Then I open a worbook local from e.g. Desktop the workbook's displayed as
"Window" and not maximized.

How can this be fixed

Thanks Thomas

As far as I know, excel will remember how you last saved that workbook (well, in
conjunction with what your current view is (if excel is open)).

So save your workbook as a maximized window.

Close excel and then double click on your workbook to test it out.

I don't open excel files in MSIE. I find too many things are disabled.

If you want to try stopping this behavior:

Maybe it'll help your overall problem.

If it doesn't, maybe you could have some code in your personal.xls file that
maximizes both the excel application and the worksheet window.
