Can anybody assist ?

How can I find out the current x y cordinates of any
control on a screen ?

TIA

Frank H

The Top and Left Properties locate the Control within the Access Window. I
fear some API calls (just which I don't know) would be required to get the
Top/Left coordinates of the Access window itself. The Top/Left properties,
accessed from code, are in "twips", or 1/1440 th of an inch. That's
complicated by the fact that it is a "Windows inch" which may or may not be
an actual inch on the display tube.

Thanks for the response Larry,

It's the fact that the access window could be anywhere
that's got me stumped, don't know too much about API calls.
We'll just keep looking
