You would normally use a short descriptive string followed by a Chr$(0) 
followed by the desired file extensions each separated by a semicolon and 
then a final Chr$(0), something like:

OFName.lpstrFilter = "Ivar Files (.xls .xlsx .csv)" & Chr$(0) & 
"*.xls;*.xlsx;*.csv" & Chr$(0)

Not sure what you've done there. Does this apply only when you run your 
program in the IDE and are the dialog boxes called by your app the correct 
size when run as a compiled exe? Also, does this problem persist even after 
you have restarted your machine?
