VBA Editor Find Dialog Appears Offscreen

[MenacingBanjo]

Hello,

For some reason, the find dialog box that I use to locate or replace strings of text within my VBA code is appearing offscreen when the VBA editor window is maximized.

The top pixel row of the dialog box is just barely above the bottom of the screen. So I am able reach down with my cursor and drag it into view, but every time I click "Find Next" it immediately moves back to its original location.

The location of the find dialog box varies depending on the location, size, and shape of the VBA window.

• If the VBA window is docked on the left half of the screen, the find dialog box still appears below the screen although half of the title bar is above the bottom.

• If the VBA window is docked on the right half of the screen, the find dialog box appears in the center of the screen.

It seems there is some sort of algorithm forcing the find dialog box to not appear in front of the VBA window, but I would rather it block part of my view than force me to keep dragging the dialog box into view, especially because it goes back to its original position every time I click "Find Next".

Thanks in advance for your help.

it defaults to appearing at the bottom of the main code module window. if you have the immediate window visible and docked beneath the main window the find dialog will appear over that and should be easily visible. I'm not sure if this behavior can be overridden but will check it out

Thanks, Joseph. This works well enough, though I would prefer it to simply appear in the middle of the screen every time.
