Application.top=0 fails
 

The first two lines in sub WorkBook_Open a
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlNormal
Application.Top = 0

Most of the time, this works fine. Occasionally the 2nd line fails with:
Run-time error '1004':
Method 'Top' of object' _Application' failed

I am running Excel 2003

What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

MANY thanks for any help.

hi,

With ActiveWindow
.WindowState = xlNormal
.Top = 0
.Left = 0
.Height = Application.UsableHeight
.Width = Application.UsableWidth
End With

It sounds suspiciously like a race condition where object _Application
isn't quite ready to have its ".Top" property set if the timing is just
ever so slightly off. Wasting a fraction of a second immediately before
the failing line might be sufficient to cure it.

MANY thanks for any help.
