>The top and left coordinator of an object on a form do not include either the title bar for the top, or the width of the frame. You need to adjust accordingly. You can get these values using the SYSMETRIC() function, passing the appropriate parameters and making the calculations yourself. Also, you might want to look at the OBJTOCLIENT() function if the object is part of a container.

I believe it does not include the toolbars, too.
