If the window is maximized, Application.Left returns a negative number that varies based on the width of the window border. Setting Application.Left to 0 (zero) will make the window a tiny bit smaller than it would be if the application window were maximized. In other words, if Application.Left is 0 (zero), the left border of the main Microsoft Excel window will just barely be visible on the screen.
Example
This example aligns the left edge of the embedded chart with the left edge of column B.
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
.ChartObjects(1).Left = .Columns("B").Left
End With
