Dick,

Play around with a modeless userform, the Spreadsheet control of the OWC-package and the standard events of the sheet object :)

Dim wbBook As Workbook
Dim wsSource As Worksheet
Dim rnData As Range

Set wbBook = ActiveWorkbook
Set wsSource = wbBook.Worksheets(3)
With wsSource
Set rnData = .UsedRange
End With

rnData.Copy

With Me.Spreadsheet1
.Range("A1?).Paste
.ViewOnlyMode = True
End With

Application.CutCopyMode = False

Kind regards,
Dennis

M: That’s exactly what I do and I agree that it feels wrong. I wonder how we could get something to be always on top. I’d even be satisfied with a picture of a selected range, i.e. I select range, take a “picture”, and that picture is always on top.

Ron: Are you saying you have three windows of the same workbook already open and you want to arrange two of them?

Nice trick:

Would be even better if we could fix it to stay “always on top”. That way you could type into the main sheet without losing sight of the floating window.

OK, of course you could type into the child window but that just “feels” wrong )

Hi Dick,
This is pretty cool, but if you have say 3 or more windows open and you only want to look at two, what would you do?
