The problem is that only the User form changes size and not the entire
window. When I get the User Form to fit the screen, 1/2 of the Window is
completely off the screen where you can not close it without moving it.

Hi Brian,

Did you change any of the code? If you make any alterations to the code and
it does not work then please post it in case that is where the problem is.

All of the code goes in a standard module.

The API declaration and Public const must be at the top of the standard
module before any subs.

Ensure that the zoom property of the form is set to 100 in the forms
properties (or change the 100 in the code to the zoom setting that you have
in the forms properties.)

All properties set by the code are temporary and only last while the form is
displayed.

You may need to set the forms startup position to zero (manual) like the
following if you set top and left position otherwise it will default to
centre irrespective of top and left settings. My apologies; I should have
included that before.

You should be able to close the form by right clicking in the top bar of the
form and close from the drop down menu if the X is not visible.

Sub Show_Userform()
Dim vidWidth As Long
Dim vidHeight As Long
Dim dblMultWdth As Double
Dim dblMultHt As Double
Dim dblZoom As Double

vidWidth = GetSystemMetrics32(SM_CXSCREEN)
vidHeight = GetSystemMetrics32(SM_CYSCREEN)

'1152 and 864 is initial setup resolution
dblMultWdth = vidWidth / 1152
dblMultHt = vidHeight / 864

dblZoom = (dblMultWdth + _
dblMultHt) / 2 'Average

With UserForm1
.StartUpPosition = 0 'Over ride the centre position
.Zoom = 100 * dblZoom
.Width = .Width * dblMultWdth
.Height = .Height * dblMultHt
'.Top = 200 'For Info. Can use if you want
'.Left = 100 'For info. Can use if you want
.Show
End With

End Sub

Are you using maximize screen because that is how I tested it?

Also lookup StartUpPosition in help. You might need to set it to one of the
other options in the forms properties instead of re-setting it in the code.
(Note that setting StartUpPosition in the code over rides the setting in the
properties dialog box.)
