Default Using ActiveWindow.PointsToScreenPixelsY

I thought it might have been, so I msgboxed ActiveWindow.Caption and it came
back as Book1.

In fact: MsgBox Windows("Book1").PointsToScreenPixelsY(1000) comes back as
0. Yet if I hit ALT+F8 from Excel and run my macro then it gives a result.

Maybe it's a bug.

Is that because the activewindow is the VBE?

I get the same result when running from VB.
But if I create a macro and run that macro from an Excel button, then it
works.

Doesn't seem to like runnig from VB

I am trying to use the ActiveWindow.PointsToScreenPixelsY
and all I have is a zero, as response.
I tryed:
hMap=ActiveWindow.PointsToScreenPixelsY(1)
hMap=ActiveWindow.PointsToScreenPixelsY(10)
hMap=ActiveWindow.PointsToScreenPixelsY(100)
hMap=ActiveWindow.PointsToScreenPixelsY(1000)

hMap is a Long variable, in all cases I obtained a zero.
I am using it on Excel 2000, with Windows 2000.

Any suggestions?
