Re: issue w/pop-up forms in A2007

Did you try adding the Left property of the Form and the Left property of 
the Control, then multiplying by 1440? If you are using a version or option 
which specifies dimensions in metric, you will, of course, have to convert 
to inches before multiplying by 1440 -- if I understand your question 
correctly, that will give you the number of twips you want.

If you want a different position number, there are Right, Top, Bottom, 
Height, and Width Properties.

to use the MoveSize command you need to know twips and I can't find anything 
in A07 that tells me nbr of twips.  If I remember correctly doesn't 1" = 
1440 twips? but that doesn't help me.

anyone have a way to place a form and than get the nbr of twips from the 
left edge of the window?
