Excel screen stretching

[Ruckley]

I have a problem with a workbook I produced. It was crated in the English (UK) version of Excel. However, my Mexican and German colleagues both report screen stretching (i.e. the workbook expands and does not fit on the screen). Other workbooks I sent them are fine.

Does anybody have any idea what this might be?

Any code in the workbook? In the thisworkbook module or any of the sheet modules?

[Ruckley]

Yes. Lots. I'm wondering if it might be something to do with one of these commands:



Application.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=30003).Delete
Application.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=30004).Delete
Application.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=30005).Delete
Application.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=30006).Delete
Application.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=30007).Delete
Application.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=30011).Delete
Application.DisplayFormulaBar = False
Application.DisplayStatusBar = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayWorkbookTabs = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False


Edit: VBA tags added to code.

Are they in the thisworkbook module and are there more commands? I don't see any there that would cause your problem.

Post the workbook open code.

Hint, when posting code, select the code and hit the green vba button to format it for the forum as I have done to your code in post #3

Well, this is a cut and paste from the thisworkbook module:

End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)

Application.DisplayFormulaBar = False
Application.DisplayStatusBar = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayWorkbookTabs = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = False
close_flag = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Deactivate()
If close_flag = True Then
menu_delete
Else
menu_delete
Call show_everything
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
close_flag = False

End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
