Thanks all for the help. I solved the problem with the following method. It still needs a little work.
*** This method displays a Wait Window containing txMessage, just above toObject.
***   Include .T. for tlClear or tlWait if you want clear the message or wait for a key press.
***  Examples from text box Valid methods:
***		THISFORM.WaitWindow("Note: Division has also been reset. Tap any key to continue.", THIS, .T., .T.)
***		THISFORM.WaitWindow("Please enter an Estimate greater than or equal to zero.", THIS)

LPARAMETERS tcMessage, toObject, tlClear, tlWait

IF ! tlClear
    tcClear = "NOCLEAR"
ELSE
    tcClear = ""
ENDIF
IF ! tlWait
    tcWait = "NOWAIT"
ELSE
    tcWait = ""
ENDIF

TitleHeight = SYSMETRIC(9)
FrameHeight = SYSMETRIC(11)
MenuHeight = SYSMETRIC(20) 
ScreenRows = SROWS()
PixelsPerRow = _screen.Height / ScreenRows 

*** All objects on this form are enclosed in 2 page frames, that is the reason for the parent.parent
*** This needs to be changed to automatically search the object for parent containers
RowStartPixel =  _Screen.Top + ThisForm.Top +  toObject.Top + toObject.parent.parent.Top + ;
	toObject.parent.parent.parent.parent.Top + 2 * FrameHeight +  MenuHeight + 3 * TitleHeight
lnRow = RowStartPixel / PixelsPerRow

FrameWidth = SYSMETRIC(10)
ScreenCols = SCOLS() 
PixelsPerColumn = _screen.Width / ScreenCols
ScreenWidth = SYSMETRIC(1)
MessageWidth = ThisForm.TextWidth(tcMessage)
ColumnStartPixel = _Screen.Left + ThisForm.Left +  toObject.Left + toObject.parent.parent.Left ;
		+ toObject.parent.parent.parent.parent.Left +  2 * FrameWidth
IF MessageWidth + ColumnStartPixel  > ScreenWidth 
    ColumnStartPixel  = ColumnStartPixel - MessageWidth + toObject.Width
ENDIF
lnCol = ColumnStartPixel / PixelsPerColumn

*** Adding 1 to the row and column makes it display in the right location????
WAIT tcMessage WINDOW AT lnRow + 1, lnCol + 1 &tcWait &tcClear
