Default Center application window

Hi
Trying to center the Excel application.
Screen resalution is 1280 x 1024
newWidth is a long and set to 800
newHeight is a long and set to 600
maxWidth is a long and set to 1280
maxHeight is a long and set to 1024

The following code moves the to far left and to far from the top.

Application.WindowState = xlNormal
Application.Width = newWidth
Application.Height = newHeight
Application.Left = (maxWidth - newWidth) / 2
Application.Top = (maxHeight - newHeight) / 2

Thanks
Harold

The screen res' is measured in pixels but the application dimensions are in
points. In most systems to convert it's typically 96 pixels per 72 points.
Simplest way to correct your routine is probably just to do this -

newWidth = 800 * 0.75
newHeight = 600 * 0.75
maxWidth = 1024 * 0.75
maxHeight = 768 * 0.75

If you are distributing to unknown users best to get the screen res and
"points to pixels" using APIs.

Regards,
Peter T
