But now when I'm putting it into my real world solution I'm always getting a 0 back from objtoclient(loObj,1) and objtoclient(loObj,2). I've put it in a trace and watched it but no matter where the form is or where the object is on the form I'm always getting a 0 from this function. Any ideas?


Sorry to waste your time guys... I figured it out. I had placed my code after the object was created and built but before I had positioned it in the proper location in the "scheduling day" object. That is why it was always 0!!!!

Thanks for the help!! It's working perfectly now!!
