John,

An offtopic, but could you please be a little more specific in your FAQ about canceling validation. You should mention, that if Cancel button is in some container, we need to calculate top, left positions relative to the form, not to the parent. Took me some time, before I figured this out and adjusted your code example appropriatelly. Once I did, it worked great.

>>>But, what are you thinking about "magic constant" 1979.16666666

>>This value isn't exactly "magic". Here's the logic: there are 10,000 "report units" per inch and 96 pixels per inch. The height of the band separator is 19 pixels. So, 10000/96 = 104.166 and 19 * 104.166 is 1979.166. My logic of 2083.333 was flawed, because that measures to the bottom of an object that's 104.166 report units high, not to the top.
