    Dim xWb As Excel.Workbook
    Dim xWs As Excel.Worksheet

Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Try adding the below once the workbook is opened.

Code:
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMaximized

Try...

Code:
xExcelApp.ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMaximized

Or, alternatively

Code:
xWb.Windows(1).WindowState = xlMaximized

Hope this helps!
