Hello, I have an event code that will zoom in to make data validation drop-down menu choices appear larger for easier reading when you click a cell that contains the drop-down menu. The code is as follows:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Dim lZoom As Long
  Dim lZoomDV As Long
  Dim lDVType As Long
  lZoom = 100
  lZoomDV = 150
  lDVType = 0
  Application.EnableEvents = False
  On Error Resume Next
  lDVType = Target.Validation.Type
    On Error GoTo errHandler
    If lDVType <> 3 Then
      With ActiveWindow
        If .Zoom <> lZoom Then
          .Zoom = lZoom
        End If
      End With
    Else
      With ActiveWindow
        If .Zoom <> lZoomDV Then
          .Zoom = lZoomDV
        End If
      End With
    End If
exitHandler:
  Application.EnableEvents = True
  Exit Sub
errHandler:
  GoTo exitHandler
End Sub

I've put this code in a couple different files we use here at work, but we recently upgraded our Excel versions to 365. I created a co-authored file and it has a drop-down menu in it. I tried seeing if I could use the code above to do the same thing in this file. I had gone under Automate and New script and pasted the code there, but it didn't work - no zoom. I'm just wondering if it is not possible when the file is viewed/edited online to have codes like this one work and it only works on the desktop, if there is another step I should have taken for this, or if the code needs altered?
