A form can't be moved or sized while minimized or maximized


Form_Resize

I changed

    
        If Me.height < 6000 Or Me.width < 6000 Then
            Me.height = IIf(Me.height < 6000, 6000, Me.height)
            Me.width = IIf(Me.width < 6000, 6000, Me.width)
            Me.Refresh
            Exit Sub
        End If

by

    
      If Me.Height < 8550 Or Me.Width < 11430 Then
        Me.Visible = False
        Me.Height = IIf(Me.Height < 8550, 8550, Me.Height)
        Me.Width = IIf(Me.Width < 11430, 11430, Me.Width)
        Me.Refresh
       Me.Visible = True
        Exit Sub
      End If

I guess this code runs inside a Form_Resize() Event, and you get the error when the Form is minimized.

So try;

Private Sub Form_Resize()

    If WindowState <> vbMinimized Then
        If Height < 6000 Then Height = 6000: Exit Sub
        If Width < 6000 Then Width = 6000: Exit Sub
    End If
    
    'other code
    ''''''''''''
End Sub

Note:
1) The Exit Subs whenever we resize the form because the Resize Event will fire again re-entrantly when that happens.
2) The Me prefix to Form Properties is not normally required.
3) Form Refresh should not be required

Did you not find any of the subclassing-based solutions in your previous thread satisfactory? FYI, none of them is flicker-prone unlike the simplistic approach you've shown.
