APP.SIZE() Returns Error When Document Window Is Maximized Last reviewed: June 30, 1997 Article ID: Q100360

The information in this article applies to: Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 3.0, 4.0, 4.0a SUMMARY The APP.SIZE() function may return a #VALUE! error if the Microsoft Excel window is maximized. In the Microsoft Windows operating system, a window cannot be resized that is already maximized or minimized. To use APP.SIZE() correctly, you must first restore the window. In an Excel macro, to restore a window, use the APP.RESTORE() function. The following sample macro illustrates the use of the APP.RESTORE() and APP.SIZE() functions to size the Windows Control Panel application window: A1:=EXEC("control.exe") A2:=APP.ACTIVATE("Control Panel") A3:=APP.RESTORE() A4:=APP.SIZE(200,200) A5:=RETURN() REFERENCES "Function Reference", version 4.0, pages 21-22 "Function Reference", version 3.0, pages 12-13
