I would like to set the size and location of a userform and its controls
when the userform is initialized.

This seems straightforward, based on the documentation, but I can't get it
to work. Possibly because I also want to do this by putting all the code in
a routine outside the Userform_Initialize() routine.

For instance, I want to call the routine "TransformForm" while initializing
"UserForm1"

   Library.TransformForm UserForm1

which begins

   Library.TransformForm(vUserForm as UserForm )

passing UserForm1 by reference.

But, the instruction

   vUserForm.Width= 400

causes an error ("does not support that property or method.") in that
routine.

But a similar instruction in the initialization routine

   UserForm1.Width= 400

works just fine.

I have a similar problem using the.Move method--works in
Userform_Initialize(), fails in my outside routine.

I've simplified a lot away here in an effor to tbe clear. Can anyone tell me
what I am doing wrong? I'd be much obliged.

Thanks!
