Hi David

A builder was suggested earlier, but I thought of a little twist ;) Set up an ON KEY LABEL CTRL+K DO MyPasteMover WITH -8, 16.

Then all I need to do is Copy a control, Paste, Ctrl+K and the new control is positioned properly and selected so I can continue making other changes.

I even thought to make an INI file or some place to hold the values so I can edit them periodically.

function MyPasteMover( lnHorizontal, lnVertical )
