I have several workbooks open. I want to view just two horizontally. How to do this?
I tried
VBA Code:
set stdwbk = Workbooks("C S O N H Standards.xlsx")
set answbk = ThisWorkbook
set curwbk = Application.Union(stdwbk,answbk)
curwbk.Arrange -4128, 1
No luck

Thanks

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Are you just trying to view these two workbooks next to one another? Perhaps try this?
VBA Code:
Set stdwbk = Workbooks("C S O N H Standards.xlsx")
Set answbk = ThisWorkbook

Windows.CompareSideBySideWith stdwbk
Windows.Arrange ArrangeStyle:=xlVertical

Thanks Max
I found that if all other workbooks are minimized, then I can easily compare horizontally the workbooks I choose.

VBA Code:
Dim wb As Workbook
For Each wb In Workbooks
If wb.Name = "C S O N H Standards.xlsx" _
Or wb.Name = ThisWorkbook.Name _
Then
wb.Activate
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMaximized
Else: _
wb.Activate
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMinimized
End If
Next
Windows.Arrange ArrangeStyle:=xlHorizontal
