Maximizing Excel workbook(s) within Excel the application

[hutteto]

I have one instance of Microsoft Excel running that contains 1 or more workbooks, and within this instance of Excel I open another workbook from a hyperlink on a webpage. When I click this hyperlink, the workbook opens in this Excel application, but it restores all the workbooks to not be maximized. Clarification: The Excel applications remains maximized, just the workbooks within the appplication are not maximized.

I am able to reference any or all workbooks of my choice, but what I cannto do is maimize them.

How do I do this?

Thanks

Not elegant, but you could send Alt, then send left arrow, then send x

Try:

Global $xlMaximized = -4137

$oExcel.Application.Activewindow.WindowState = $xlMaximized

Edit: Forgot .Application in the object path.
