How to attach the immediate and debug windows back onto the code window
Somehow I have detached the debug window from the code window how may I attach it again? Also the immediate window is not shown, how do I show it attached as with debug window.?

Re: How to attach the immediate and debug windows back onto the code window
If you do not see the Immediate window, press Ctrl+G.
If you then see it, drag it to the bottom of the Visual Basic Editor window. When you hit the bottom edge, the Immediate window should become docked.
By debug window, do you mean the Watch window? If so, and if you don't see it, select Debug > Watch Window. You should then be able to drag it downwards. When it hits the top of the Immediate window, the Watch window should become docked.

Hmm, this is what I came up with, but not what I expected. From what I remembered the immediate window was more less a square windowto the left of the expression window

Try dragging the Immediate window to the left of the Watches window.
It should dock to the left of the Watches window. It may take several tries - the process is rather finicky.
When you have done that, you can drag the border that separates the two windows to the left or right.

Re: How to attach the immediate and debug windows back onto the code window
Well I did it one time. I was moving both and it became unattached. After several attempts it is still a separate window.
It moves upward easily docking on top just not to the left.
Ok I finally did it. but now the immediate and watch(what I called the debug)are on top of the code window. Is there a way to move it below/

Re: How to attach the immediate and debug windows back onto the code window
I did dock it finally on the left. That combination is now above the code window I attempted several times to move it below, unsuccessfully. IIRC the pair were at one time docked to the code window. Would that be correct?

Re: How to attach the immediate and debug windows back onto the code window
It depends on whether your module windows are maximized.

Re: How to attach the immediate and debug windows back onto the code window
In that screenshot, the module window is maximized. You should be able to get the same layout on the first PC by dragging the Immediate and/or Watches window around, but as I mentioned, it is finicky.

Re: How to attach the immediate and debug windows back onto the code window
OK back to this issue, I maximized the window and finally docked the immediate window to the left of the watch window, all well and good until the window is minimized and then the immediate and watch window, still docked are not docked with the code window. See images. So what is your suggestion to dock all of them in a minimized window?

Re: How to attach the immediate and debug windows back onto the code window
That is not possible.Windows can be docked to the edges of the VBE window, not to a non-maximized module (code) window,
