Relating x,y to left,top

[Steve]

Does anyone know how I can relate the x,y values from the mousemove event to
the .top and .left values of a rectangle object moved with the cursor on a
chart.

I am trying to move a rectangle around a bar chart without having it
selected so that I can continue to use the mousemove event to relate the
cursor position to what is in the chart at that point -so that I move it
around the chart. If I select the rectangle so that the cursor drags it then
the mousemove event is disabled - I presume because the mouse is not over
the chart but is over the rectangle.

I hope all that makes sense and someone can help.

Thanks in anticipation

Steve

Steve -

Those x,y values are in pixels. The rectangle's .top and .left are in
points. Multiply the x,y by 0.75 to get points.
