Just change it as you open a new document window. Why do you want to 
work with a high resolution?

Hi

 When I open photo's in Fireworks it automaticaly opens withe the resolution 
set at 72 dpi.  How can I change this so when I open photo's they open at a 
high res? I'm running Fireworks MX 2004 if that makes any difference. Any help 
appreciated.

Your image resolution is in pixels. Note the upper part of the image 
size dialog.  The resolution you are referring to is printing resolution 
and controls essentially how large the image will be when printed. It 
has no effect on the true capture resolution of the image.

Digital cameras typically set the base printing resolution to 72 ppi. . 
The lower the printing resolution, the larger the output and as a 
result, the poorer quality the image is.

AFAIK, They will open at their native resolution - are you saying that 
photos that you KNOW to be of a higher resolution default back to 72 dpi?

I'm using FW8 - but am pretty sure the same applies - if I scanned at my 
scanners default 300dpi - then this image retains that dpi when opened 
in FW8

Maybe, but it's not the way I read it. I think the issue here is the OP 
is not being very clear as to WHAT resolution he's referring to. I tried 
to clear that up in my post, but I should have replied directly to the 
OP's post rather than to yours. Sorry for the confusion. :-)
