Mike,

Here's the AMOUSEOBJ() help information. MS actually documented this one but the behavior really isn't consistent IMO.

"AMOUSEOBJ( ) returns 4 (the number of rows in the array) if the mouse pointer is positioned over an area listed above. If the mouse pointer is positioned over an area other than those listed above, AMOUSEOBJ( ) returns zero and if the array you specify already exists, it remains unchanged. If the array you specify doesn't exist, it isn't created." (emphasis mine)

Best,

DD
