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:


[VBA]
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
[/VBA]

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

End If
End Sub
