I am trying to make an Excel macro that opens the worksheet "Activate" dialog box (normally opened by right clicking on the navigation arrows in the bottom left of the workbook) in the center of the Excel workbook (must work for a multi-monitor set up).


The below code (from: https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/5268-macro-choose-worksheet-view-all-wor-3.html) is just about the most elegant way to open the "Activate" dialog box. I would like to amend this code so that the native dialog box will always open in the center of the Excel workbook no matter its size or which monitor Excel is running in. I do not want to make a Userform or Msgbox for this.


Unfortunately, I do not know how to code or where to begin with making this amendment. Would anyone be able to help or does anyone have any idea how this would be done? Thanks very much.



<code class="yklcuq-7 iRRQrr">x = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count
If x > 16 Then
Application.CommandBars("Workbook Tabs").Controls("More Sheets...").Execute
Else
Application.CommandBars("Workbook Tabs").ShowPopup
End If</code>
