I see what you mean, it seems it measures the height of the Immediate/Watch
panes, then it takes that same height and measures up from the top of the
task bar edge, then has the top edge of the find/replace dialog box placed
at that point, so by having those 2 panes at a small amount height wise
(which I normally do have it at a small height in most cases, but every now
and then do have it at a larger height point when I'm testing something),
the Find/Replace dialog box's bottom is off the screen on this account. I
can't even see the command buttons, even if the VBE is in "Restore" window
state with ample amount of space between the bottom of that window and the
top of the task bar area.

This is using XLXP, SP3 (VB6.3)

I have noticed this too, and have been bugged by it for some time but never
tried to figure out why until now.

Seems the Find/Replace dialog is dependent on the location of the
Immediate window. When possible, it's positioned level with it.
Heightening, removing, or lowering the Immediate window enough seems to
make the Find/Replace dialog play nicer. The behavior is made worse by a
taller Taskbar too.

How do I prevent the Replace dialog box from moving at all within VBA?

Every time I have it find and replace text in VBA, it's moving to the
very bottom of the screen with the lower part of it not even showing. I
really hate this behavior.
