Is there any way to stop excel from opening subsequent workbooks at the size and or location of the last opened workbook?
I wrote a script to open a specific set of data at a specific location and size. I keep this open all day but every time I open anew workbook it snaps to that size/ location. Very annoying.
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Where workbookA is the workbook which is opened in the specific location and with a smaller size ...

Untested, but you could try

- create a sub in workbookA to re-set the location and size to normal
- call it from "workbook deactivate" ( in workbookA )
- also call the same code from "workbook before close" ( in workbookA )

You may also need a sub in workbookA to set it to its peculiar settings and call that sub from "workbook activate"

So here is the code I have so far. If i open the wb "WAL Lat Lon 5-1.xlsm" by itself or with other prior existing open wb's this will display properly in the location at the size i want.
But if i open another wb it not open to the new location size. Any Idea why?
