    Remember the second's monitor workbook position

    Hi Guys,

    When i am saving workbook and opening it in another instance it is always opened in my main screen.

    Most of the time i am using 2nd screen and want to open excel in the 2 monitor after closing.

    Code:

    Set wb = Workbooks.Open(path & "\" & NameWbResult & ".csv")
    always open in 1st monitor.

    What i want to do is to remember left and top dimentions of windows and bring them up.

    I'm not sure if this will help, but you can tell Windows via Display Settings which the main display of the two should be, then you will find that apps open on the designated display.

    Can you not just open the Display Settings dialog, scroll down and find the aforementioned option? You don't need a step-by-step for that, surely?

    If you do, then right-click the desktop and choose Display Settings, then select the screen you want to make your main display. Then scroll down and tick where it says "Make this my main display".

    OK, so what did you mean when you said this:

    in response to this:

    Sorry, but I am not a mind reader.
