>Hi Bonnie, I've tried saving the text position x + y values as fields in my class and checking them in the MouseOver event but no joy so far - I think the values are *very* accurate and unless the mouse coords are spot on it wont work - any ideas ? - thanks for your time :-)

You'd need to save both the x,y *and* the size ... that way you'd have a rectangle, centered on the x,y, of the area that the text is displayed in. Is that what you did?
