Old string, This is exactly what I am looking for.

tried in full screen mode and it gave me the most accurate positioning

the position of the form is off by the height of the window title bar with h "Ctrl S" is spot on over the cell
the position of the trace is is off by the height of the window title bar
the position of the pane origin is is off by the height of the window title bar

I think that the y pos needs to be adjusted by the height of the titlebar + the hieght of the menus, formula bar, and any other extraneous objects above the top of the sheet.

Still screwy when I move the main excel window to my second monitor the cursor and form pop up as if it is on the first monitor.

I will play with it to see if I can get it to be more accurate

This is fabulous code. It would take me a long time to figure out how it's working. I think I'll just make a class module out of it to use it in my project.

Many, many thanks!!

Hi,

I have kept some values in 10 rows X 3 columns array (and there are 4 such ranges Rng1, Rng2, Rng3 and Rng4). The 1st column contains the name of the text boxes on a User Form. The 2nd Column contains the width of the Text box (in centimeters)and 3rd column contain height of the text box (in centimeters). I need to select the name of range from a validation list in Cell A1, and the text box dimensions on the user forms need to change accordingly. Will anyone please help/guide me how to do this ?

Best Regards
CA Kanwaljit Singh Dhunna

There is a possibility with the RangeFromPoint method. By moving a virtual point (X,Y) by a little value and stop when this point meet the cell where you want to put your userform.

Thanks, keepITcool,

This works well enough that I've incorporated it into a project.

I'm impressed that it works on my multi-screen setup, since even Excel can't always figure out where to pop up its dialogs. As for the few cases where the form doesn't exactly show where I want it to, well, close enough...

Thanks again.

Vertical position does not work properly. Switching to 75% makes mouse behave strange way – it seems I have no control over it. Windows XP, Excel 2000.

I sent Dick this Beta1 on July 16th...
In the meantime I found some probs myself and tried to iron them out.. but never bothered to mail the current Beta3.

Inresting,
(win xp, xl 2000, 1060/768)
Jurgen form did not postion correctly over the selected cell, and was not quite the right size, although the size did change with diffrent cell sizes.

Chips[http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/FormPosition.htm] postioned correctly with out splits but not with.

If i get some time I might have a play.

Cheers
Ross
