>>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 :-)

Hi Bonnie, I didn't save the *size* only the xy coords, sorry if I'm being dumb here but how could I check whether the mouse is *in the area* having saved the size , thanks for your time
