Thanks for your reply. I don't think that will work. I should have been given a more complete description of what I am doing. I want to make a top level form moveable without a standard windows title bar. I want to be able to click on a portion of the form and drag the entire form around the windows desktop. I think can do it in the mouse down event and looping while MDOWN() if I know the absolute mouse coordinates within the windows desktop. This is the code I am using that almost works:

LPARAMETERS nButton, nShift, nXCoord, nYCoord
LOCAL lnLastMrow, lnLastMCol
IF nButton = 1
lnLastMrow = MROW("",3)
lnLastMCol = MCOL("",3)
DO WHILE MDOWN()
ThisForm.Top = ThisForm.Top + (MROW("",3) - lnLastMrow)
ThisForm.Left = ThisForm.Left + (MCOL("",3) - lnLastMcol)

lnLastMrow = MROW("",3)
lnLastMCol = MCOL("",3)
ENDDO
