I'm not sure how that relates to my problem. Getting the arbitrary order numbers out of sight is not a problem. I'm interested in how to make drag buttons. I can sort of imagine solutions involving the mousemove event and mouse positions, but I figure that there is a right way to do this, or even some code somewhere. Can anyone .MouseMove me in the right direction or .DragDrop me on a piece of code? As Luis Guzman might say, THIS.Thanks. Or maybe I should say
oGuzman = CREATEOBJECT(LuisGuzman)
oGuzman.Thanks
