How can you access the dimensions of the screen in Visual Basic? I have looked online and it says to use Screen.width and Screen.length, but it doesn’t recognize those properties… any tips?

    In VB you can use Screen.Width and Screen.Height. They’re not in VBA but you can use an API call instead. Add these declarations:

    Public Declare Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal index As Long) As Long
Public Const SM_CXSCREEN = 0
Public Const SM_CYSCREEN = 1

    Then use like so:

    MsgBox GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN) & "x" & GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN)
