Controlling sub window position in Excel

Status: Declined
Support Request. Pushed to forums.

I have an application that tests three products at a time.  When a product is put on test, the user enters the serial number of the product, which pulls up the Excel datasheet for that product serial number. 

The datasheet always comes up in the last saved location within the Excel window. I would like to control if this file appeared on the left side (where it currently is), center position, or right positon.  Please see the attached screen shot. 

It would be nice to force the datasheet to open in a certain location in the window.

This is more of a support question and not a feature request. Programmatic calls into Excel are done through ActiveX so as long as Excel makes that option (position of the window) available through ActiveX then you should be able to wrap that in LabVIEW. It is up to Excel to make this available though. I suggest you post your question to the forums (ni.com/forums) for more help with your question.
