I'm glad to here you want to restore the user to where he was. I threw this
together quickly. You'll want to test it and integrate with your API stuff.

Dim OrigLeft As Double
Dim OrigTop As Double
Dim OrigWidth As Double
Dim OrigHeight As Double
Dim OrigState As Integer

Sub MaxRestorePos()
Dim MaxW As Double
Dim MaxH As Double
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
OrigState = .WindowState
.WindowState = xlNormal
OrigLeft = .Left
OrigTop = .Top
OrigWidth = .Width
OrigHeight = .Height
.WindowState = xlMaximized
MaxW = .Width
MaxH = .Height
.WindowState = xlNormal
.Left = 0
.Top = 0
.Width = MaxW
.Height = MaxH
End With
End Sub

Sub ResetRestorePos()
With Application
.WindowState = xlNormal ''Just to be sure
.Left = OrigLeft
.Top = OrigTop
.Width = OrigWidth
.Height = OrigHeight
.WindowState = OrigState
End With
End Sub

If

might

|
| Sub MaxRestorePos()
| Dim MaxW As Double
| Dim MaxH As Double
| With Application
| .ScreenUpdating = False
| .WindowState = xlMaximized
| MaxW = .Width
| MaxH = .Height
| .WindowState = xlNormal
| .Left = 0
| .Top = 0
| .Width = MaxW
| .Height = MaxH
| End With
| End Sub
