I have a listbox in a VBA script which grows both in width and height
after each save and re-open of the script. The height and width values
on the properties of the box change automatically. Is there any way of
stopping this.?

Thanks for your idea. I think this would work for me also, however I
am fairly new to VBA and I've tried setting the height and width during
a record macro, to get the values but this was no help as I had to go
into the design tool to do it, and the recorder doesn't seem to work in
the design mode.

Could you let me have the syntax for setting the height and width for
your list box.

Yes this is a problem. In my case the Listbox kept shrinking and finally
became a text box. I did not research this issue much and handled the problem
by fixing the Height and Width properties of the Listbox in the Workbook open
event.

Thanks Alok,

Works a treat, much appreciated.

In the Visual Basic IDE find out the programmatic name of the worksheet on
which your list box is located. Say it is Sheet2. Also say that your list box
is ListBox1.

With Sheet2.ListBox2
.Height= ...
.Width =...
End with
