Tried setting the starup icon properties to start maximised. Tried setting registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Options\Maximized to 0x00000003

All to no avail. I've sen the prob reported on lots fo other forums but it's always the solutions noted aboive that are suggested, and jsut as reported on those forums, they don't resolve the issue with Excel 2010.

    You have to open excel, maximize it, then lcose it. It will only open maximized if it was last clsoed that way. Annoying, itsn't it?

    This works perfectly, funny how so many people continue to argue and can't answer such a simple question. Thanks so much Toydude

    I don't protect any of my workbooks. I just put the maximize macro in my personal macro file and now it opens maximized all of the time.
