Default Resize Excel Window

I did look at the VBA help Dave. All I find there is the code I mentioned which
only acts on the sub window and the Application.WindowState you mentioned. The
trouble with that is that it will minimize/maximize the window but it won't let
me tell it to make it some arbitrary size in between.

I suddenly had a "Duh..." moment though while playing with your response. I
tried simply recording a macro while resizing the window manually. Turns out
the following code does what I want:

Application.Left = -390
Application.Top = 87.4
Application.Width = 390
Application.Height = 528.6

The "Left" is negative simply because I'm positioning the window on a second
monitor.

Thanks.

Maybe...

Application.WindowState = xlMaximized

There are a couple other options, too. Check VBA's help for more info.

Using Excel 2003, is there a way to resize the Excel window from within VBA? I
don't mean the window for a particular workbook like:

With ActiveWindow
.Width = Application.UsableWidth
End With

I'm referring to the entire Excel window that the OS opens when you invoke Excel.

Thanks.
