I'm curious....
Excel without a workbook?
Do you have a particular workbook you'd like to open upon Excel startup
instead of a blank workbook?
If Yes, Excel will open all files in the XLSTART folder. Mine is located in
this kind of location:
C:\Documents and Settings\CoderreR\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
OR
You can select an alternate startup folder.
From the Excel main menu:<tools><options><general tab>
Enter a path in the "At startup, open all file in" section.
(Alternatively, [Ctrl]+[F4] will close the active workbook)
Does any of that help?

You have to create an icon, or a menu item, that calls Excel.exe with
the "/e" switch. That is, create an icon, for the target, enter
"[path]Excel.exe /e". Of course, [path] needs to be filled in with
folder that contains your program.
Hope this helps,

The closing double-quote must come before the <space>/e
"[path]Excel.exe" /e

I wasn't actually including either quote. I was just using the quotes
to delimit the text that was entered in the properties box. But you're
right. The quotes, as you have written it, will never hurt and are
actually needed if the path contains a blank. Thanks for pointing that
out.
