To find these values, use an Object Browser. Excel's is available within Excel by Alt-F11, then F2. If you have VFP 7, use its own Object Browser. You can search for the constant name, and the value is shown in the bottom panel.

Yeah I know about the recorder, but I have had no luck translating what it is doing with a Text Box Shape into VFP. I was hoping that someone else out there has some experience with a Text Box Shape and would lend some code help.
