>OBJTOCLIENT() is necessary when the control is nested inside other controls, especially inside page frames. Unfortunately, OBJTOCLIENT() returns the position always in pixels. By moving a temporary object at the form level on the same position as the control I can read the foxels value from the properties of the temporary object. If you don't want to create and release objects, you can use a fixed name and keep the object alive.
Christof,
