Any idea why the following would return a negative number?

Debug.Print ActiveWindow.PointsToScreenPixelsX(0)

This line of code was returning what I expected and then all of the sudden began returning a negative number. A negative number on a two monitor desktop and my laptop as well. I searched and could find next to nothing.

ActiveWindow.PointsToScreenPixelsY seems to be working.

Thanks!

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
I am guessing .. monitor 1 is on the right and has the taskbar on it whereas monitor 2 is on the left. Zero horizontally is at the left side of monitor 1 so points to the left of it would be negative.

Thanks Rick. It's also returning a negative number on my laptop with no external monitors connected.

Well, I copied the project to a new workbook and it now works as intended. Problem solved? Not really. :)
